We've had a great Friday turnout this year and had several runs today, with more coming tonight. Here's a couple shots from the first day...

Thanks to WhiteRhino and Tab for providing a warming station at the motorsports area by the rocks. A chance to take a break, tell a few stories and enjoy some hot apple juice:thumb:

This is a 20 minute section of our day condensed to a little over 3 minutes. I dubbed over the audio, because you couldn't hear the engine anyway, but just picture a farm tractor at about 4k RPM :teehee: You can see the tree I hit, as well as Mike diving out of the way when he realized I was coming much faster then he thought. :teehee:

Nice video! I figured that it would be pretty shakey from the jeep, but it looks really nice.

How did you mount the camera to your jeep? I never got a chance to take a look at it... seems like I was always behind you. :thumb:

Each run varies. There are 7 different groups on Saturday, I think 3 or 4 Friday during the day. and 4 Friday night. Each group does a different route. They leave from one location (hotel) and return to one location. Each run is unique. I would guess they vary from 40-60+ miles of trail. I think mine is 63, or something like that. :thumb:

Here's a video of Frank01TJ on "Big Money"...at least the one I've known as Big Money. The one that was/is closed i've known as the back side of Ant Trap. One is Big Money and one is Real Big Money or whatever you want to call it. I'm just glad that this one is still open to wheel on:woot:

Frank gets first dibs on having his video posted since he drove all the way from North Carolina for the second year in a row...that says a lot for the Snofari event and those who put it on:rock: And even though the snow sucked last year he still came back, ignored the haters who said there wouldn't be enough snow and was well rewarded with fresh snow for the Saturday run:woot:

I think what happened (besides the obvious can't walk and chew gum kinda thing) is I was watching the driver side as I was trying to avoid caving the door in again. after exiting the berm I still had the pass side up on the ledge and clipped the tree in the photo. Instead of glancing off the tree it just walked right up it and faster then I could say "oh shit" I had my wife in my lap:sonicjay:



berm before flop. this picture was taken saturday I was going much faster on friday



Diane crawled out the window and took this pic before everyone got back to me. which didnt take long at all thanks guys especially Joe






This picture the tires are all on the ground its hard to tell in some of the photos but there is more ledge there then it looks like



anyway nobody got hurt, didn't break any glass , and the door still opens and closes sorta.

I did have the dash cam on and gave it to Nightkrawler:thumb:
