I will be there....and hopefully not embarass myself quite so badly. Hopefully the first attempt is the worst.

I was a dummy and forgot to ask off so I gotta work


did you hear that they are going to start showing porno movies at the gas pumps
so you can see someone else getting screwed at the same time
I went into the gas station today and asked for
five dollars worth of gas......The clerk farted and gave me a receipt.

My dig is fixed too. Before the rear shaft had to spin 1/2 turn to disengage/reengage. Now it only has to turn 1/2 revolution to reengage.

What does a dig really do, just disengage both back wheels so the crawler can turn sharper? When else would you use it?

Just a quick question... Isn't 1/2 turn and 1/2 revolution the same thing?

Dig disengages and BRAKES the rear wheels. Think of a dog dragging its butt on the carpet.... it actually lets you turn sharper than rear steer (if you can get traction)

In my effort to limit embarasment again, I should have more parts here to improve the rig. (Driving skill is something that I cannot buy)

Novak Goat System
CKRC Aluminum Shocks
RCP Rear Aluminum Lockouts
Masher M3 Tires
MSD Aluminum Beadlocks
CKRC Driveshaft reinforcement rings (Screwed on NOT Glued)

Hopefully these changes will assist with my driving skill....or at least encourage better skills. Using the right equipment for the right job is usually the best course of action.

Will we be allowed to get any practice in if we show up early? I know we could run the course at Naper last time if we were there before signup pretty much.

Im not sure if the course will even be open before signup. Its in a seperate building from the actual shop so they usually dont have anyone working there. I plan on being there right at noon to start signups, if you get there before me and its open feel free to practice....
