[Numidian]

Paige and I will be there.... But we're not staying for the weekend...although we might stay for the night if there's gonna be a lot of people hanging out.

[TJgreg]

Definitely going to be a great time. It'll be my last weekend to have fun before I head overseas and it's going to be a great way to spend it. For any of the guys racing, I already signed up to volunteer but can lend a hand for anyone who needs it.

[dan58]

I'll be there Wed, Thurs, Friday nights. :D Game the fuck awn.

[Cerebus]

[TJgreg]

You bring your own.

I saw you guys were interested in a deep fryer at big dogs. If anyone wants to use mine I can bring it. You supply propane and give me a piece of the eats and it's yours.

[Numidian]

[dan58]

Wait you guys who are going to be their Wed Thurs as well as Fri..... The race itself is just Fri right?

Get in Wed night. Thursday we get the HappyBear machine ready to qualify. Friday he qualifies. :D Friday night, we celebrate with beer pong, beer, and other activities.

[CoveJeepsXJ]

Should be a great time!! Not sure if we are getting there Thursday evening or early Friday. Friday night looks to be one helluva party!!

[Happy Bear]

It's going to be a good time. I still have to swap a new motor in, meet a bunch of safety requirements, and attempt to get the suspension dialed in.

May 15th is the big show.

[Numidian]

Are you guys getting hotels or are you camping?

[Happy Bear]

camping

[CoveJeepsXJ]

Not Sure.

[doug38s]

[Arya Ebrahimi]

I can't wait to see this!

I'm planning on camping out Friday night and heading down to the show at carlisle on Saturday.

I'm gonna start a seperate post, but if anyone needs and 1.75 DOM lemme know, I'm bringing the trailer anyway.

[Kack]

bring it if you dont mind. we'll figure it out somehow to get it on there.

[zucruisers]

if anyone needs any pit-crew help let me know, me and dom will be there, probably thursday night til saturday

[Happy Bear]

We could definitly use some help I'm sure. CJ and Dan are helping us out but more help is always better when you're racing!

[zucruisers]

should i bring any tools along?...any idea where you guys are going to be camping/set up at?

[dan58]

We could definitly use some help I'm sure. CJ and Dan are helping us out but more help is always better when you're racing!

I should roll in Wed evening to get set up.


Has Bruce designated a particular spot for each team? I can just see a scramble for space, and some teams might not get as much as others.

[dan58]

should i bring any tools along?...any idea where you guys are going to be camping/set up at?

Bruce said on pbb that the pits will be on the old staging area.

[TJgreg]

I'll be bringing the deep fryer, and if anyone here wants to indulge, feel free. Menu will be fried chicken, hot wings and onion rings. Myself, skylar, travis and a few other MJRers will be in the volunteer camping area, so drop buy and have a beer or 9.

And of course, if any of you guys competing need a hand with anything, feel free to ask. Damn this is going to be a good time.

[gr8whytyj]

I just got off the phone with Miller he said he's ready to rock! I've been helping him the past few weekends getting it ready(as well as wrenching on mine). I start my new job this week and don't think I'm going to be able to get this Friday off, but I'll be up Friday night to party and wheel the weekend. Westin Blackie already backed out of the race! Good luck Doug and Lou. I hope you guys and T n R motorsports all make it into the top ten, so that next Feb we can party at the big show!_Jake

[Broncolou]

Bummer you wont be there.We will drink a little extra for U.......

[jhama78]

Cya thursday Doug.:D

[PartsBitch]

Stu and I will be there Thursday morning.
I will be doing some Fuel Economy testing on Thursday. and dialing in the shocks a little bit.
I hope we dont need any extra help, but extra hands are ALWAYS appreciated.
I have a hotel room for Thursday night to try and get some rest.
I doubt I will be able to sleep though, too excited. I'm already too excited.
This should be a BLAST !!!!
Hope to see a bunch of you guys there for this, you wont regret taking off work for it.

[CrawfishStu]

Only race vehicle will be alowed on the course. We might need someone from another team to follow aj with some gas for the first lap.

[CoveJeepsXJ]

anyone going from maryland that might be able to drag back a set of front seats for me?


He is looking to buy a set of seats from me if anyone from that area could help us out I will hook you up with a few beers. :beer:

[Arya Ebrahimi]

I'm going, and could bring them back. I live in Derwood, between Gaithersburg and Olney and work in Frederick.

[Arya Ebrahimi]

What is going on at carlisle that weekend?

Brit and kit car show

For those who are camping, what sort of fees and facilities are there? I've wheeled at RC, but never camped.

I'm assuming I can just throw my tent up somewhere and crash, correct?

[CoveJeepsXJ]

I'm going, and could bring them back. I live in Derwood, between Gaithersburg and Olney and work in Frederick.

I know Veeb0rg lives in Glen Burnie. Not sure where that is in relation to the places you posted though. I will have him get in contact with you. THANKS.

[Happy Bear]

He is looking to buy a set of seats from me if anyone from that area could help us out I will hook you up with a few beers. :beer:
Nice, glad to see you're coming out Nick! Will it help if I get the seats back to Aberdeen MD?

[CoveJeepsXJ]

Nice, glad to see you're coming out Nick! Will it help if I get the seats back to Aberdeen MD?

I am not sure to be honest with you. Hopefully, Veeb0rg will post up.

As of now it looks like I will be coming down Thursday evening. I will call Dan on my way to see if you guys need any parts/tools/beer brought along.

[theshocker]

we will be there thursday afternoon. looks like there will be a good turn out for the event. I can't wait.

nick i could haul the seat back to westminster if you would like. i am about 45 min from glen burnie.

[CrawfishStu]

If anyone wants to bring me a jacket......that would be great. This is what happens when you get about an hours sleep.

[67temp]

Was there ever a rules thread or list of the things the qualifiers needed on their rigs?

[Twiss]

Was there ever a rules thread or list of the things the qualifiers needed on their rigs?


Pretty sure there was one on Pirate...

[Heavychevy]

I was there this AM and the top of the list should be a warm azz rain coat and a windsheild.

Some wicked cool rigs there.

I was next to Clayton most of the morning.

I'll be pitting for Jim and Beth on the Rose team.

Good luck everybody.

I'd hold my money until they get these tomorrow.

There's talk of slipping Eugene an exlax donut tomorrow. Just to speed him up a bit.:lol:

[Typhoon]

Does not look like the buggy liked 12 miles at Redline
http://pirate4x4.com/trailreports/koh_rc09/5.jpg

Did anyone hear what happened?

[Jack]

Headed out now. Wooo hooo.

[dan58]

We JUST got back from the garage. The buggy is in the trailer. What a day! We should be leaving for RC in 30 minutes.

[Ripster]

That sucks if he blew the motor, but he had to see it coming. :doh: Time to run home and get the Donkosaurus. :lol:

[Jack]

Sitting on Rock Creek. I got a floater spot. I'll try to post pics on Facebook. Matt, Bigs, Kat, AJ are ready to roll.

[67temp]

#515 abandoned ship and is hiking back to the pits to get a replacement battery. There battery reportedly blew up.

[Jack]

Doh!

[Typhoon]

AJ was just on live feed and is back at camp, but I missed what happened.

[67temp]

no word on doug on the pbb live blog. :confused:

[Typhoon]

AJ lost his PS pump.

[Jack]

Doug passed me at Rock Creek about 15 mind ago. He seemed in good spirits. :-)

[RatLabGuy]

who's watching

http://www.pirate4x4.com/trailreports/koh_rc09/live.php

[67temp]

Bigelow on his lid!!!

Doh!

[Typhoon]

Where is Happy Bear........

[Jack]

Bigalow's wheel fell off near Rock Creek. He fixed it and is underway.

[Jack]

So I was told...

[Shane]

kat bigalow is currently running 6 miles to get a battery for bunny.... holy hell

[Shane]

http://media.coveritlive.com/media/image/200905/phppy2LClIMG00014-20090515-1047.jpg

go kat!

[Jack]

I've not seen Kat, Matt, or AJ in the 4.5 hours since this thing got started. I wish I would have been at Jotter's; it sounded like a blast. Imagine every rig here battling to get through that obstcle right at the start of the race.

[67temp]

I heard aj lost a ps pump. Have you seen gene?

[Jack]

I heard aj lost a ps pump. Have you seen gene?

Once, about an hour ago.

go kat!

Amy and I declared this Kat's new Realtor sign! :lol:

[54ford]

Jotters was crazy the first lap.No one could make it up everyone tring to pull cable.I am suprised no one got run over.

[54ford]

Gene made it through his first lap right after clayton finished the race Gene ran out of gas on the first lap right before the start/finish line

[Typhoon]

Top 10 and only finishers

1) Will Carter
2) Clayton Walter
3) Adam Carter
4) Greg Stone
5) Charlie Melchner
6) Kim Sears
7) Barry Beadle
8) Doug Bigelow
9) Eric Miller
10) Rob Unsick

[Cerebus]

So are those the only ones guaranteed to a spot at KOH now?

[MDMike]

Whew! Just got back into town. What a race!! The Appalachian crew, JR, myself, and a few others got down to Jotter's for the first lap of the race and all I can say is it was CRAZY!!!! There were no less than 12 rigs fighting it out to get up that hill at the same time. Huge bottleneck with some 400+ hp motors bouncing off the rev-limiter is an amazing site to see! I heard through the grapevine that at one point Doug had lost a wheel and was picking the buggy up himself and stacking rocks under it to get it back on :eek:

Congrats to everyone who entered the event and gave it hell! I had a blast!

MIke

[Heavychevy]

Jotters was like the opening seen from Saving Private Ryan. Nuts, a war zone.

Pre carnage pics:

Dean fought electrical gremlins all day
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/bretkeller/utf-8BSU1HMDAxNDAuanBn.jpg

Jim exploded three connecting rods cresting the left side of Jotters on Lap 2 (Oil pan was like swiss cheese)

Eugene had trouble with brakes, cooling, gravity, tires, rear dif, etc, etc. He had a guy back onto his hood first thing on Jotters and crush his distributor. He really worked hard to keep moving all day long and had nearly as much carnage as the rest of the field combine.
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/bretkeller/utf-8BSU1HMDAxNDEuanBn.jpg

The rigs there were unreal cool to see how different everybody builds stuff. Dougs rig is wicked!

[MDMike]

Heres a pic I took from the top of Jotter's just as the craziness began:

http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/517/1341/26290670109_medium.jpg

Brett, here's a pic of your buddy's buggy just as the motor let loose. He was the ONLY guy we saw all day climb the left side unassisted. He had it wound up pretty good and just as the front tires crested the top the motor blew. He was so cool about it too. He said something like "Yeah, I knew she was gonna let go at some point, I guess here's as good of place as any" or something like that. :lol:
http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/517/1341/26290670110_medium.jpg

[CoveJeepsPA]

Just got home. That race was insane! Nick & I were on Jotters and it was definitely a war zone! Every man (& woman) for themselves! Horespower and wheel speed was key.

Hats off to all the competitors whether they finished or not. It takes some guts to run that race!

[CoveJeepsXJ]

Was a crazy good day yesterday!! Unbelievable action on the first lap. Some crazy nice high dollar, high horsepower rigs there. Was quite a site to see in PA. I think the East Coast Terrain really opened some peoples eyes!!


"I gots to get me one of them go fast buggies."

He had a bad rod knock just before that in the pit. I told him all week. Take it easy, just finish, the average speed only works out to like 10 MPH. But, no no Jim had to go out in a blaze of glory. I'll get the pic to him. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

The funniest thing is that out of the 4 Rose Crawlers Eugene was the only one still running at the end of the day. He was way to shy to point that out. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:dan1:

That was the most grueling and fun day I've had in a long time. I'm going to build something or catcha right seat next year.

[dan58]

What a weekend. I need a nap.

[dan58]

I'll let Happick and Pearson tell their tales. Twas quite the bummer.

Dougie just cooked. After the wheel incident, he just flat out made up time. I hope he was running his GPS to see what his top speed was. It had to be 80 or so. That truck is just a blur when he goes by.

I think the winner of the race was Jotter's Way. :cool:

Hit up JR for some pics too. My pic was close, but JR literally took a pic right as the motor let loose. He has a couple more of him climbing the hill too. I think he put on one of the best shows of the day!

I have some videos of doug from where I was posted at the high speed section. 80 is an understatement, that man has a screw loose :thumbsup:

His final 3 laps were unreal.

[54ford]

Post up some video i didnt see much high speed action.

[98zjhagerstown]

His final 3 laps were unreal.

Agreed! His was the only rig you could hear through the ENTIRE speed section and he was WAYYY faster than anyone else through there...

[TJgreg]

Internets are slow tonight, but vids are uploading.

Here is Doug and Lou on the first lap, note the speed:
http://s432.photobucket.com/albums/qq42/TJgreg5/?action=view&current=LOUandDOUG.flv

and here is doug on his last lap, if that buggy had wings it would have taken off.
http://s432.photobucket.com/albums/qq42/TJgreg5/?action=view&current=DOUGlastlap.flv

[doug38s]

great vids. that first lap right before that part Lou was able to get in front of me when Greenwalt plugged up the big hillclimb and I tried another route and missed the top by about a foot and I had to back down really fast. I got behind Lou and couldnt see anything and was getting plastered by rocks and mud and had to back off.

The last couple of laps I was very very pissed off and wanted to qualify. I wish there was vid of the hole shot down by the old office on the last lap and the resulting climb up jotters when I knew I had to pass 2 rigs to get into the top 10. I remember Bosely standing next to the road and putting my foot into it very very hard.

Much thanks to all my guys that came out and did everything for me. Bosely, Johnny, Clint, Tony much thanks. Big thanks to Kack and Jrodd for being there way early and Ickes for keeping that support to me. I have a crew that cannot be beat. We'll work all the bugs out one way or another. Our shit is very fast and sooner or later we will catch a break and it'll be our day to be in the winners circle and I'll remember how it happened, no doubt.

I'd be way remissed if I didnt say something about my wife yelling to me, spotting me, pulling cable and basically telling me to get my ass and gear and qualify so we could go to CA. Love ya babe.

[CrawfishStu]

I hope everyone checked their lugnuts.....I pretty much went car to car trying to find something to fit doug's rig. Actually it was just my ram, aj's rig, and the trailer. Nothing fit.

[broncoholic]

Good work Doug glad to see you make it to the big show. It was crazy watching you on the last couple laps. You drove like a fawking mad man.

Damn glad we could help ya this weekend Doug, I was shocked when we got back to Trail 5 hillclimb after seen you at the moon tower @ 40 minutes earlier and hearing you screaming through the woods... Cant wait to go to the Lakebed in Feb for KOH '10.

great vids. that first lap right before that part Lou was able to get in front of me when Greenwalt plugged up the big hillclimb and I tried another route and missed the top by about a foot and I had to back down really fast. I got behind Lou and couldnt see anything and was getting plastered by rocks and mud and had to back off.

The last couple of laps I was very very pissed off and wanted to qualify. I wish there was vid of the hole shot down by the old office on the last lap and the resulting climb up jotters when I knew I had to pass 2 rigs to get into the top 10. I remember Bosely standing next to the road and putting my foot into it very very hard.

Much thanks to all my guys that came out and did everything for me. Bosely, Johnny, Clint, Tony much thanks. Big thanks to Kack and Jrodd for being there way early and Ickes for keeping that support to me. I have a crew that cannot be beat. We'll work all the bugs out one way or another. Our shit is very fast and sooner or later we will catch a break and it'll be our day to be in the winners circle and I'll remember how it happened, no doubt.

I'd be way remissed if I didnt say something about my wife yelling to me, spotting me, pulling cable and basically telling me to get my ass and gear and qualify so we could go to CA. Love ya babe.

You have plenty of time to work the kinks out for KOH 2010... I do think things would have been very different had you keep your wheel on...

looking back over the past year and taking a look at every comp that I have had issues with and every single one was something that I could pretty much control. every race something very little has taken me out.

I vow for that to stop right now. tired of excuses and busting my ass and having shit not go my way. the rest of the year and 2010 will be very very different for that I will promise.

Heres a pic I took from the top of Jotter's just as the craziness began:

Brett, here's a pic of your buddy's buggy just as the motor let loose. He was the ONLY guy we saw all day climb the left side unassisted. He had it wound up pretty good and just as the front tires crested the top the motor blew. He was so cool about it too. He said something like "Yeah, I knew she was gonna let go at some point, I guess here's as good of place as any" or something like that. :lol:

I must have been standing right next to you, I somehow miraculously caught it on my phone camera:

Nice Pic.

He's building a better LT1. I'll get some pics of what's in his oil pan. I'd really like to see video.

I had Bunny and Kat's batteries on the charger for over 18 hours and they were still drawing 3 amps.

Guess he's building a TPI 383 now. Cracked his TH350 in half too. It had 2 runs on it since the 2nd rebuild in a year.:dan1:

Freakin Hammer Head.

Hours of video from the event. Mostly Jotters and Trail 5 hill climb. They are mostly loaded in backwards order, not my fault. Had to break the videos down to below 100 MB in order to do the upload.
