can anyone collect all the links (thus far) to pic galleries into one post?


I actually saw folks snapping pics of my truck, and there were a lot of people taking closer looks at my bumpers, but I think after the pic is taken people look down and say "whoops another green disco" and delete it off the memory card :banghead:

Adam,
I think you're trying to place MAR into the same category as a small club event. MAR cannot event try to compete with a small club event. If you don't like the way MAR is handled or think it's just too dangerious, maybe the Spring Rally is more your speed.

I mean really, MAR had over 300 trucks this your; that's a lot. The trails at MAR are "good" at best. There is nothing challenging, at all, and frankly is get quite boring after your 10th lap around the track. By the end of the 2nd day the trail are bound to get a little more "crazy" with people trying new lines, rolling a faster pace, and even the occasional "Fuck it, I'll try it" attitude. These people, too, are having fun. A lot of the stuff you seem to have a problem with is petty. You may have one or two Yahoo's at the event doing some silly stuff, but that's where education comes into play....not bashing the event as a whole.

Your comments do have a little merit, though. Yes, the trucks are getting cheaper and you're only going to see more and more Rovers beat up and on the harder trails. Is that really a problem, though? I have two trucks; one beat to crap; the other really clean. I see beauty in both.

Not everyone is going to like your style of wheeling, Adam. And, not everyone is going to want a expedition style truck.

I will say, though, the location of MAR has been beat to death. It's time to move on, IMO. The land needs time to recover and the event needs a new face for a few years. For a lot of people MAR is "that event" they do not want to miss. It's not because of the trails or even the location....it's the social aspect of things that makes MAR what it is. But, the event continues to grow and we are seeing a lot of bigger built trucks who want to see another level of trail difficulty. There has been some mention of moving the event to a new location but nothing set in stone to date. But if ROAV does in fact move the event to the location that's been discussed, I think a lot of the problem you bring up would be solved. It's a place where you could have your trails and the big boys could have theirs, too.

But, enough about a new location.......thats exciting information to share later.

Point is, MAR is a big event; double the size of any other North American event. If MAR were held in the UK, crash helmets would be standard equipment. If you're looking for a smaller, more civil group, the Spring Rally might be what you're looking for.

That baby kissing stuff was kinda creepy. I mean, kissing all the ladies stomachs for those potential voters is over doing it.

Another one said if the "stream" was less than 3' deep I could have just jumped in the diesel and driven across to pick him up then driven back across - damn why didn't I think of that? Some people are just sneakier than I am......

Yeah.... In the slow race, I wanted to run it in reverse gear, but the powers-that-be wouldn't let me.... :rolleyes:

It was great hanging out with you Alyssa! I'm glad you were able to come down again this year...and show everyone how wonderfully that RR can wheel!

I love the shots of Mike and Steve standing on my bumper! I was really afraid I was going to run them over...:rofl:
