TURBO, Rocky, Ryan, and Jeff from :turtle: should be up there this year :thumbs:

7 other :turtle: employees including Marlin, CJ, Jon, Jaime, and myself will be up at the Special HALL OF FAME T.L.C.A. Rubithon event this weekend at Rubicon. (Why do they always have to pick the same weekend? :ack:)

Take a lot of pics, have fun, and TREAD LIGHTLY FOR PEET'S SAKE.

Are you going up to Red with the Fresno LHTDYJ class? I hear there will be a lot of people eager to learn!

Ten-4 on that one :thumbs: 88_Pathy actually didn't get accepted, they said he had to join a freshman class up to check his driving ability.

My first visit to the Moonlight Madness run was great.  I didn't bring my rig but JOEYOTAMAN offered me a seat in his rig so all was well.  We loved the trail out of base camp.  JOEYOTAMAN and myself didn't even know it existed.  We were pretty impressed.  Saw a few rigs from this forum and another.  Posi-Hill was lots of fun.   V-Rock was a dud during the day when we rolled through but the night run brought in some action.  A couple guys hit the rock like it was a sand dune and darn near flipped over but didn't.  Others crawled there way to the top while others had to be winched over.  One guy even tried to go up backwards, I think he had to clean up a mess in his seat after that one.  I've got tons of pics so here goes.

Where is this spot?

And do you have a picture of the driver of that white/green FJ55? Is his name Mike?

Also, I heard the forest service was out in force handing out tickets like they were 7-layer burritos at Taco Bell, was that the case?

Yes the FS was out in force along with Fresno County SO.  I was glad to see them.  It kept the idots under control.

Hey Mike, the FJ55 is Chris, Frizzlefry on many boards. It's got a 350/465/203/205 with a 60 and 70. He did an awesome job on it, espeacially after getting the electrical fire out of his system.  :laugh:

The spot you asked about is on the back side of Shale hill and bumper buster. Fun spot with a few different lines to take. I thought I had heard that it is off limits unless O.K.ed by the FS like on Moonlight.
