You are locking them both out, right?

I used that liquid steel that comes in a tube. It's like putty...just mash it together untill it's a uniform color and fill the diff.

It dries quickly and is hard as a rock. you can actually drill and tap it if needed.

I'll bring it if I can find it.

i moved my spider gears around locking 2 of them together!

Just to maybe help with directions:

When you are on 286 and you see a sign for Challenger Racetrack you are getting very close.

You actually want to turn onto McIntyre Rd. (which goes to the track), which is across from the Golden Pheasant lounge.

Just a short way down the road you will pass the entrance to the track on your right.

As you go around the bend in the road you will see a sigh for Coal Road which will be a left hand turn across a small bridge.

Stay on the main road and follow it to the Post Office and Fire Hall. There is an unpaved parking lot across from it...we'll meet there.

I will be there at 8:30am. Look for my black, lifted F-150. Probably too rainy to ride my bike.

try sitting ball deep in a mud bog at smithton hole. (in the deep end too)

[mascman]

Right now it's just a light drizzle. 12:15am

The major rain hit a good while ago.

I'm about 25 minutes from the spot.

There is a canopy of trees so if it is a light rain the trees should help.

[99chevyZR2]

guys i have bad news. i cant make it tomorrow. my dads truck is acting up and my mom has to use her truck to go somewhere tomorrow. well i guess it might be nice to have a rain date for once. sorry guys. maybe if we have a rain date i can make it.

[LEWIS]

[razor rc]

hey lewis,

thanks again for the body, tires, and wheels.

those dang moabs grip (on dry rocks)

[Rckcrwlr]

Hey team,
It is now official. No more "Practice Comps". From now on the runs count towards the points series challenge. Anyone that was not at this GTG, I will be emailing you on some housecleaning issues. It is real important to check your email tomorrow and respond ASAP.

Now for a recap...My legs are killing me!!!

Great rock layouts but the holes are endless. Who did we lose in the holes??? (STEVESTOCK, bustedcrawler, joen007, LEWIS...) Here are some pics... Sorry I don't have a lot...seems the battery died halfway through the 2.2 comp.

Make sure that you post any great pics you have and upload them to PB.

I gutted all the electronics in the Super and starting over. Figured I will do it now to give me time. SW2 is still tried and true. I will post standings soon.

MZ_Rubby...I will do it this time...I know you were in a hurry to get out of there.

It was great seeing everyone again...See you on the first Summer Points Series Comp on JUNE 10TH...

[Rckcrwlr]

Points Standings

Of course this is just a practice run but it gives you an idea of where you ended up.

Great fun
