So, just wondering. Anybody going to this? its in Monroe, by the prison. starts at 9, goes till about 3:30. I'm going to go watch it, i know WATTORA is going offroading that day, so i guess anyone going to that is out, i was going to join them, but i want to go to this event.

So anyone going to it?

I know my troop from the Snohomish Co SAR will be there, Im thinking of bringing my rig just so that its just not all jeeps there by the booth. But Im not sure If I can make it yet.

No Im not running the challenge though...

I think Rob Should run it =D

No thanks! I appreciate that my wheeling is become less and less "competitive" as time goes on. I have done the competition thing and I find that I prefer to wheel for the sake of wheeling. If there is a trophy being handed out, odds are good, with very few exceptions, you won't find me there...

I see the role that contests play in our sport and am glad that folks organize them for those who want to enter them, but I am much happier wandering some forgotten trail than I am trying to beat someones time through a rock pile or mud bog.

I dont think I'll ever be in a competition, nor have a rig that would do well in one, I just enjoy watching...

There was a cool show talking about 4x4er's on Speed, well it was all cool till someones hand got mangled while pulling out a winch cable a bit too close to the fairleads... ick. Man my wife was "you got one of those on your truck dont you?" lol... I said yep.. (BTW rob, when you going to teach me some safe winching? lol the next 101?

I do prefer exploring, just dont get a chance to do it as much as I did.

WATRD

I have been thinking that we needed to have a "Winching 101" this year since so many folks have installed those deadly contraptions over the past year... Perhaps I will do an extended "Trail 101" for WATTORA this year and throw in a more advanced winching section...

We'll see... I am rapidly filling up the summer for classes already. It must be a good sign when I am approaching sold out in March

Ducky

Wait... sold out?

Where do I sign up? Is there a Fee now?

Serith

well i dont care about the competing part of it, im just going there to watch, and get a chance to look at all the cool trucks.

Although it is tempting to join WATTORA that day to go wheeling...just too many choices.

WATRD

No, I mean for dates. The WATTORA class will always be free, as long as I am holding it. But I do the classes for other clubs and organizations each summer and the dates I have available are getting filled up in record time this year. For those ones, I charge

WATTORA Trail 101 will likely be in May, but I am waffling between two dates.

Ducky

As a informal request... rule out the first weekend in may? =)

Ive got Search and Rescue Training all weekend... ugh.

If it is... oh well.. theres always next year lol.

Man was it warm last time... that damn tire wouldnt reseal.. lol...

WATRD

I am trying to avoid having it on the hottest day of the year this time...
