UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Fair. That's a little different than what was asked though.

But YES! Bonneville Offroad Racing is always in need of more volunteers to help staff their races! Run checkpoints, pull race trucks out of the sand, and much more!

@P.Blackley you planning on racing Jackpot? I'm sorta on the fence if I feel like making that drive.

 

UTOR = Unlimited Types of Riffraff

WWT4R = We Trade Tuff 4 R...lightbars

 

U Took Our tubebendeR

 

gold!

 

Yup, probably leaving Thursday night before the race. If you've never been to the jackpot race I would recommend it. I love this course.

 

I went last year. I still don't have all the dust out of my lungs

 

It's totally worth the drive.

 

When is it?

 

July 10

 

Anyone have an idea of what sort of insect, etc causes these? Ive blown them over a few times and they keep reappearing. Bore hole is about pencil sized. Sand wasp?

 

Hey locals... Anybody have some original 16" 6 lug wheels gathering dust in their storage locker? Tires don't matter one way or the other as long as the price is right.

 

I have a set of 17"s. PM me if interested.
cheers.

 

Sorry, I edited my original post to specify 16", but thanks anyway. Why are 17" tires so much more than 16"? It makes no sense.

 

Yeah it looks like ground wasps.
For controlling them, USU recommends "eliminate sandy areas" ... lol

My whole lot is sand base! I was pulling weeds where that tree in my front yard and you weren't kidding about the whole neighborhood being an anthill as well.

 

For real. Sandy must've been prime beachfront property in the days of Lake Bonneville.
I've been noticing those little winged ants EVERYWHERE lately like they're trying to stage a hostile takeover.

 

Yeah, they're all over my driveway, but the heat seems to have sent them packing, or at least dormant. Plus I used a weapons grade amount of borax on them.

 

They don't hurt anything. The ones I'd like to get rid of are the sugar wasps that come to the Hummingbird feeders.

 

huh. It says the diet includes pollen...maybe that's a good thing? lol. Eat all the pollen so we don't get allergies?

 

If you ever see a praying mantis camped out on your hummingbird feeder, get your camera out and be ready for some crazy action. Or shoo the mantis away if you're nicer than me.
