I didn't get many pictures this year, but had a great time !
Met up with Nick Jr (Xjkid33) around 1130 Friday and hit the road. I told Nick to try and get in front of me just out of the pass on hwy6, so he hopefully wouldnt get popped for flaps n flares... I no more than said that and...
He got off lucky and we hauled ass to get to camp. Showed up and found Dave (redxjbuilder) and his family had saved a great spot for us ! We headed out to play for a bit and then came back and drank the night away, campfire hopping turned into beer pong, steeking... and well, ill leave the rest to your imaginations :laugh:
I got up Saturday and headed for registration. I couldn't find Nick (redjeep3) anywhere, so I filled the form out and just put "nick" in the co-pilot spot. Just as we headed out to start the rally, I see the Dunetech truck pull up and out pops Nick. So I ended up with 2 co-pilots... Nick, and my back-up plan, Nick Jr.
Redjeep :eyes: Orangejeep
We bumped into John (bronzewyrm), but we couldn't run the rally together because of the staggered start this year.
So we headed out, took forever to track down checkpoint #1. But we flew through the rest and turned in our completed score card in less than 3 hours. We were pleasantly suprised to hear we were the current leaders with 188 points !!! :guitar:
When we looked at the stack of papers we quickly realized there were only 5-10 scorecards turned in so far...
We headed back to camp for lunch and some much needed chill time after the shenanigans the previous evening :confused1
decided we'd go beat the rigs up a lil more while we were waiting for the raffle and awards, so we headed out. Nick Jr's jeep crapped out soon after, and would not restart ? ? ? We towed it to the derrick rd day use area and headed back for help. Dave (RedXJbuilder) came out and towed him back to camp and I headed for the raffle...
saw some of the pistons crew there
I heard the familiar 4.0L pulling up and Nick had gotten the jeep running again, just in time for the raffle and awards
When it came time for the awards, I was shocked to hear we had placed 3rd !
I think 1st and 2nd were 196 and 194 ? we were soooo close...
Had an awesome time ! Thanks Nick and Nick for being kick ass co-pilots ! Thanks Dave and the family for putting up with us :cheers:
There is more to the Nick jr jeep story... but thats a whole nother write up :gag:
