[BigRogers]

Also guys it is CASH ONLY at the gate. They can make change but just a FYI

Also there is a great burger joint just down the road, Rock City Burgers, good lunch spot.

No kidding man.....I use to compete in AZ while I lived out there, nothing sanctioned but a local range would have reactive steel shoots on Tuesday night. 4 courses, always different. Haven't gotten back into it here, like to talk more about it at Bridgeport if you can make it.

we'll plan on coming on Sunday, 10 Feb

we usually go to Arizona (Scottsdale) at least once a year to fire M134s from the UH-1D with my buddies @ Dillon Aero on their desert range; we may also do some matches at Phoenix Rod & Gun Club this season (TPRC with Scott & Regina Milkovich)...

No Ill do both, get a little refresher of the park before the club run. Been a couple months since I have been that way.

Great, and definitely feel free to encourage anyone to come. I'm not at all trying to sidestep the club - just looking for a fun outing for more lightly modified 4Runners.

No worries man, hope you guys can make it to an event or a meeting sometime.

I got to figure out how to do the multiple quotes in one reply.......

Pushing this back to the top in case anyone else wants to come... the more the merrier.

OK, cool. It says on the park's site that they don't sell them. I'll go pick up one this week.

Has anyone picked up a sticker yet? I checked the website and the closest one looks to be about 30 mins away from me still. I'm going to pick it up Saturday but hope they won't be out of them. Does anyone know if 4wheelparts have them, it's a lot closer to me?

I bought one from the ATV store in McKinney. It's right on 75 just north of 380 (next to Eldorado Mazda).

FYI......Showing rain for Saturday and Sunday.

weather.com is predicting a 20% chance... I guess we'll play it by ear. 20% shouldn't discourage any of us, I don't think. I doubt it will be muddy out there since we haven't really had a downpour in a while.

if I plan to just meet out there and hopefully ride along with somebody, then would I need to buy a sticker just to enter the facility and park in the lot?

I wouldn't think so. Only if you're on a trail.

the evening news just forecast 100% chance of rain on Sunday; I wasn't planning to really take my 4Runner offroad (definitely no rock crawling, just trails resembling fire roads) and would be even less inclined were it muddy...

 

[jdmaccord6]

I'm pumped for this!

I guess we'll see - weather.com isn't calling for the sky to fall too much

Bridgeport Weekend Weather Forecast - weather.com

BTW, their web coverage of the storm in the northeast is nauseating. Yellow journalism at its finest.

I'm pumped for this!

Me too, I haven't taken a 3rd gen off road since 2002!

Guys I bought a winch yesterday. Started the install tonight finishing tomorrow (I hope). I'll hit you up tomorrow with my status.

which kind?

I have a new Warn M8000 I bought a few years ago for my '91 YJ Jeep (long gone), and it will go on the 4Runner when I finally get around to ordering and installing my front bumper...
