I take it that you two have a love for the Blazers. Can't let this drop off the front page.

Heart Breaker run Feb. 28th (valentines theme I guess)

It's a one day ride but some of us are going to run two days, just don't know which two yet.

Might be Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun, hard to say right now.

How far are you from the park?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

Is this the place? http://www.tctri.org/

I'm 30 miles south... Is it $50 for me to go ride with you? Are those rates normal for 4x4 clubs?

Edit: or is this the one you go to? http://www.rc4x4.org/


I'm gonna want to build a trail rig after a trip to that place...

2nd one and no, it won't cost you $50, that's only if you drive.
The last time down, it was only $5 or $10 for the passenger, Jim could tell ya.

Course, last time down the entry fees were only $35 too.

Cool, I'm sure we can find ya an open seat.

I've done both, they both have they're benefits.

When we do the hotel thing, we stay at the Comfort Inn down off of exit 100.
Nice place and the wife really appreciates the shower at the end of the day.

Camping is great too, hangin' with the boys telling lies over the campfire is tough to beat.

I'll post up that we have the need for an open seat, gotcha covered.

Was wondering when we'd hear from you.

Should be a good time, just about have enough to mandate running two groups.

Seven confirmed and four possible's.
