Go with that.

If we meet at the Post Office, the "E-Z walk" is only right around the bend. Will be easy to get everyone there after we set up the course.

Got the BMVII together Tom. Looks real nice with the old Chevy body huggin' the ground! What kind of battery did you run? I have mostly big stick packs and one smaller pack. I have the small pack on right now, but need to find a place to mount a stick pack.

John, who is going early to set up?
Me, Tom, you and Steve?

That will work. We will meet one of you at the Post Office an follow you down. Then we can have one person at the post office if someone needs directions.

Figure 8:30 am again. This is an early day for me. 1hour 49 min drive per Mapquest.

if you come in coal run from 286 .you go pass the spot on your way to the post office .You have to climb a three foot bank to get up to it.

i like the idea of the first place, as well!!! i'm to fat, lazy, and out of shape to walk!!!

i decided to start from the begining again on my rig build, but i worked on it a good bit tonite. tommorrow, i will hopefully make some decent progress on it, i definately think i will have it done for sunday!!

i just may have to reuse and older body, i don't know if i'll have time to paint everything, so as embarassing as it may be, the steel in my rig may be bare!!!

Phat...bring them. We can see what we can do.

Bad news last night. Testing the Super with a MPI reg and noticed the rear axle slipping. Pulled it apart and the found that the RC4wd TracGear was stripped clean. Panic time...

Told me 1 hr 50 min to get to WV and I made it in a little under 1 1/2. I was planning on makeing it for the driver's meeting and ended up setting up the course!

Ran the BMVII this morning under the Apollo Bridge...very similar to WV.

I'm liking it!

1, 5 or 10 min walk don'y matter to me. I can walk all day, it's running I don't like! Plus my wingtote has wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know I can powdercoat that 4 ya! Prolly not before this weekend unless we meet up.

Looks like there's gonna be alot of new rigs this weekend. Can't wait to see how they do. Hopefully my new super will be done- *DA RoKSTAR*

That is why you should always use only JBweld on TXT diffs. Or machine a nice solid spool. Or join us cool kids who have a pair of spare axles ready to drop in haha!



For those wanting to run questionable bodies, brining them and run them this time. However, these are practice comps to prepare those who have not done this for the real deal. Now is the time to clear things up before John starts handing out complexes to those in power.
