IT'S HERE AGAIN!!!!

You've all been wondering, some of you had given up hope but OH NO!! PSTOC.org has come through for all you Toyota nuts again! So if your car is perfect, half apart, unpainted, blindingly shiny, so muddy you don't remember what the orginal color is, bottom line if it's a Toyota, Lexus, Scion or just has a few Toyota parts this is your show! So enough with the pleasantries lets get right to the fun fun details

BIG Question, WHEN?
October 3rd 2010
Roll-in at 10am
Show 11am-4pm

So where is this largest annual gathering of Toyota's in the North West? Glad you asked.

The Brand New Griots Garage location in Tacoma!

Please check in for more updates Here http://pstoc.org/board/viewtopic.php...p=62386#p62386

And while your there sign up and tell us about yourself!

Thanks for the heads up. What are the catagories?

Not positive on all of them but for sure Best Old school 4x4, Best New school 4x4 and Best Mud. Let you know if we add any others related to 4x4's. Thinking about adding cleanest motor swap though. :)

i think its only fair that since every generation of toyota car gets a category that there is more than 4 for ALL of the 4x4 community.

at the minimum

best 4runner new / old
best pickup (pre tacoma)
best tacoma
best mud
most capable
Best carnage or trail-rash

it would be nice to see

Best 1st gen pickup (79-83)
best 1st gen 4runner (84-89)
best 2nd gen pickup (84-89)
best 3rd gen pickup (89-95)
best 2nd 4runner (89-95)
best 3rd gen 4runner (96-02)
best 4th gen 4runner (03-08)
best tacoma
best mud
most capable
best "that didnt come from the factory that way"
Best carnage or trail-rash


also will there be an RTI ramp this year?

Well the issue with that is cost and if not enough rigs register or worse no rigs of that make register then we just have a random extra trophy. It's a delicate balance when it comes down to catagories but if YotaWorks would like to sponsor 1 or 2 trophies of your choice outside of the 3 I already mentioned that can be worked out :) As far as RTI ramp we would love to have one if anyone has one to loan for the event. Only thing to work out regarding that is what to place under it as to not mess up Griots new, white, concrete lot, safety procedures and liability releases. So feel free to contact me if you have one to loan.

I may not make this due to defending the country that day...

OH and IIRC, plumbrbob might be able to come up with a RTI ramp....

If I recall Tofer said he could produce one at this years event. Lets see if he's all talk lol

I never said I had one.. I said we need one or a fork lift but never said I owned one....

COREY! You better make it this year....no excuses

foooooooooooooooooooooo show....anybody wanna side bet? :D

so, who's doin anything special for thier truck/runner just for the event?

Right now, I'm just trying to be able to make it...stupid work...grrrrr

Sadly no PM's about a RTI ramp yet. Worse case we drive up on gabruil's truck lol.

Oh and Good news we have a paypal option now!

Please visit here if you'd like to prepay and not have to worry about it day of!

Please remember that being a forum member and being a donation member with the cheaper prices are 2 different things. Everyone can be a forum member but those who have donated to us have special perks like this :)

I need to get something like this going on in T-town at Tuscaloosa Toyota!

:guitar:

Paypal, sweet.

Kris and I are now pre-registered for the event :) Yay!! We registered the 01 runner and the 87 runner :)

ok, I have a question.....so, my dad owns a tire shop (S&S Tire Inc)...... I am curious if I am allowed to hand stuff out with their business name on it at Yotafest? Or does the business have to be an actual sponsor of the event in order for me to hand stuff out?

Thanks!! Lisa :)

Hey girl!!! :wave: Well, NOW I have to go!!!!

:D

If you can get him to throw some discount coupons at us for the event, you can hand stuff out and we'll thank his business throughout the day on the PA system. Please make sure to post these types of questions on the official PSTOC thread in the first post. Anyone who is caught handing business related advertising and has not been approved by PSTOC will be asked to leave. Our sponsors have donated alot of time and money to be a part of our show. :)

Speaking of sponsors.

We'd like to welcome GaragePlus to our marry band of enthusiast oriented sponsors!
GaragePlus - http://www.garageplusstorage.com/

I've been wheeling so much I forgot to build the RTI ramp...I'll get on building one if its permitted....I dont see it bieng super tall though since it will have to fit in the back of my pick up truck...I am sure I know where a few sheets of plywood are laying around as well

I have a 5x8 utility trailer that can be a flat bed if you want me to pick it up... That way it can be taller...

Sounds great!

Crazy. Our dept. (Central Pierce) only runs our rigs through S&S!! Awesome. :great:

Awesome !! Thanks for the information !! I posted something on the PSTOC thread. Hope for a response so that I can put some stuff together and get another sponsor for the event :)

Ya you do :) lol Hope to see ya there !!

Oh ya!! My son sat in one of the fire trucks one time while it was being worked on at the shop... lol..... Thanks for the business :)

That would be great! the problem I was having with moving it in my pick up bed is the width at the tall end would be around 80" I'll call up tacoma steel monday and put in an order

Thanks Plumrbob you come through and your entry will be free! I know it's not much but we hope you understand how much the 4x4 community will appreciate this as well as the rest of us!

cool on catagories I've got some real nasty cab damage that could win it...... Also I dont see a problem getting the RTI ramp built and tofer has volunteered to haul it for me so I can build it full size....just so you know it will be a 20 degree ramp, 58" tall, 13'4" long, 80" wide at the base at the tall end, with a 20" wide ramp

Nice! :great:

Thanks Rob, can't wait to flex out! :D

I chose to build it at 20 degrees for you man!

later I may modify it to be adjustable to 25 and 30 for the flexy rigs

btw who is going to be the score keeper I'd rather not

meh, all ya need is a tape measure and a calculator right? Easy peezy! :D

(Height of the wheel)/(wheelbase) x 1000=RTI score:D

The distance is measured up the ramp and on the ramp, not to the actual hub of the wheel. That number is the divided by the vehicles wheelbase and then multiplied by 1000 to calculate the average. For example if a vehicle with a 81 inch wheelbase traveled 59 inches up a 20 degree ramp then the RTI would be calculated as: 59 divided by 81 x 1000 = 728 (rounded down). This method of multiplying by the vehicle's wheelbase allows vehicles of different wheelbases to compete with each other on the same ramp.

Sounds like you want to keep score then....I rather spectate then spot, calculate, and record

heheeheh! maaaaaaaaybbeee....

Ok we'll take that as bluepile running that event. I'll get you some raffle tickets to hand out that day :) As I got the roll this year ;)

As heard on "The Men's Room" on 99.9 KISW today! :)
