    Hey guys,


    Just got back from there. Had a lot of fun running with you guys. If I were planning a meet like this, I woul make sure everyone is accounted for, and set up a couple of different runs (pre-runner run, Easy 4wd, Med/Hard 4wd). Everyone in my group does med. to hard runs and when you guys all boned out, we had a couple of prerunners with us (couple got stuck) that didnt know where to go. The two that stayed with us (cant remember your guys names, Green 4Runner and SPeedway BLue Taco with LT) were cool as hell and we adapted for them. Next time, set up a few courses ahead of time. Just my opinion.

    Thats my buddy kevin. Were buying a welder to make a bed cage this next week actually. But we need a guy to do some work for us. I need the back end of my 4runner caged and a prerunner bumper made. We could use the help. Were you at the meet yesterday?

    Well, Its over now. We are just used to wheeling with TTORA. We have set stuff like driver's meetings, and always have different runs depending on different skill levels of the driver. We also have a trailboss/trailgunner to make sure everyone is accounted for. Just differences of people we wheel with.
