Awesome photos! Nice action shots.

Having a Rally at an offroad park is great. It works very well for us up at RC and looks like you guys had a great time too!

I love those tires on the front of the M813! Nice group of MVs!

Most Awesome, looks like a great time had by all. I am definately going to plan to go next year. Deuce still needs some attention to make that long of a trip. But I have a year to get busy. Thanks for the pics and all. Drive safe on the way home all.

As others have said, thanks to Clint and everyone that worked to put on this event. I had a great time and can’t wait till next year! Maybe we could have a spring time trail ride there too?

Dave, I put a little over 310 miles on the goat over the weekend. About 285 of that was on the road, most of it running wide open on the highway. The remaining 25 was on the trails. I just went out to check and it went down less than a ¼ inch on the dipstick. It probably leaked as much as it burned…

Brandon, did the shop van give you any grief on the way home?
