I may be up for it. Won't all of those trails be pretty deep in snow?

thefallman · 12-11-2006, 06:40 PM

im up for something most likely

Ric · 12-11-2006, 07:49 PM

tc,
its been brought up, maybe we should run carnage, we got to test out Johns next solid axle, Carnage is close, and a good testing ground.

thefallman,
it will be nice to meet ya, we will post up where and when..

I know that Chris and Jamie are open for anything.

John, call me.

tc · 12-11-2006, 08:50 PM

Hey - I'm definitely up for something different, but winching all day is not exactly my idea of fun...

Ric · 12-11-2006, 09:01 PM

do ya think Carnage would be a winch fest ? i think it would be ok. i think Argentine Pass would have some snow, lol.

AxleIke · 12-11-2006, 10:24 PM

I would love to go, and am about 85% sure i can, but will have to wait until later in the week to be 100% sure i can make it.

Twin cone might not be too bad, except for the shady areas. I don't think theres been feet of snow up there, but we'd definetly run into it.

I'm always down for Carnage too.

yellowspeedracer · 12-12-2006, 09:27 AM

I've been itching to do Carnage for awhile now but I'm waiting on some new axle shafts. They won't be here before the weekend. Maybe next time.

I don't think carnage will be a winching fest for you guys. It'll probably be a skating rink though.

JonathanG32 · 12-12-2006, 04:37 PM

hey ric called you but your phone was busy. yeah in down for some thing fairly colse and moderate cause i havent wheeled with my new front end and dont know if i have to work out any bugs but excited if it was woth all the work and money chris and i put into this. oh and did i mention my brown skins does not like the snow very much (LOL). talk to you later.

Ric · 12-12-2006, 04:42 PM

John, we got a few people that want to hit Carnage on sat. that should work out great...

oh

tc · 12-12-2006, 07:39 PM

That should work well - have a Christmas party to go to Saturday night

thefallman · 12-12-2006, 08:30 PM

i got to fix my 4 low but thats just a relay and switch. unless you guys dont think it will be needed. i havent wheeled much down here. i got a couple of friends with heeps that might be interested as well.

**Lysmachia** · 12-13-2006, 02:06 PM

Yeah carnage should be good. Though it may snow saturday...

What time? *WOOT*

AxleIke · 12-14-2006, 02:10 PM

Do we have a time set yet?

**Lysmachia** · 12-14-2006, 02:12 PM

Well crew... I won't be there. My grandfather passed away yesterday (It was time) and so I am going to FL for the funeral. Have fun and be safe!

Ric · 12-14-2006, 03:24 PM

Bring a lunch, as most of you know it will be packed on a sat.

Molly, Im very sorry to hear about your Grandfather, he is a much better place now.

AxleIke · 12-14-2006, 03:37 PM

Sorry to hear about your grandfather Molly. Best wishes.

Ric · 12-14-2006, 06:44 PM

Digger might even be able to make this one woohoooo

tc · 12-14-2006, 07:04 PM

See y'all Saturday at 10. Anyone been by there recently? Wondering which tires to use...

vwfastg60 · 12-15-2006, 10:22 AM

I may meet up with you guys if all else fails. I dont know if my truck is modded enough to run carnage yet. If theres snow all over i doubt i will be doing much but sliding around. A few guys i know want to go up but most have stock rigs so we may just do bunse school or Johnny park road (I got get my friends to lift there rigs already:banghead

You will be fine. You have enough lift and tire to overcome lack of gearing or lockers. Stock trucks can make it, but will need to take Bypasses, and will need to be comfortable with the rigs, and able to listen to spotters. Troy and Ric are good spotters, should get them through, but they have to listen. The group going is a good group, and so if you get stuck, you will be assisted, no problem.

If its icy, it doesn't really matter what you put on

Serously, i'd throw on your heavy treads, since it might also be muddy, been pretty warm up here lately, like 50's to 60's.

I would like to be gunner for this run. Until i get a second case, i am waaay too slow to have anyone behind me, and thus will bring up the rear. Plus, i have a CB, and can radio up if someone is stuck.

Well then if its ok i may have to run up there. I may see you guys at the trail head at 10 then. How long does it usually take to run? Im meeting a few guys at 3 but were meeting to go wheeling so if i have time to run to boulder or up to a gas station to fill the truck and cans for the 3wheeler im golden

vwfastg60 · 12-15-2006, 11:36 AM

just found this on you tube from last thursday

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EoHf...elated&search=

i think it might be better with the warm weather we have had

tc · 12-15-2006, 01:12 PM

I've heard it's a TOTALLY different trail in the winter - especially when the ice gets built up.

Looks like we'll need someone with a winch in front...

As for how long, depends on how much people play on the obstacles and how crowded it is. It can be done in 2 hrs or less, and it's taken most all day before too.

AxleIke · 12-15-2006, 02:21 PM

The trail is actually easier in the winter, esp when the ice gets down. YOu need to keep the momentum up, but all the rocks are almost completely covered in ice, so its smooth. It is a skating rink, but it puts all rigs on the same playing field. When driving on flat ice, IFS on 28's works just as well as SAS on 44s.

VW. The trail itself is really short, and if we don't get a bad break or we don't run into a clog, then it shouldn't be a problem to get back for gas. If someone breaks good, or about 1million other people show up (actually a very real possibility) then it could take a while, but you can always go back down the trail, since it is usually run in a CCW loop
