for sure. no one ever really talks about the rubithon, i think its just as good as the round up. last year they had an open bar on friday night!

[RokCrawlinToy [OP]]

[Skim]

[havik]

imna be there fo show. looks like we doing the Thursday run to buck at 0900. cant freaking wait.

last year me and two of my friends went with the 6:30 friday morning group. there was over 15 rigs in the group. let me just say that ill never do that again, although not one person broke it was a VERY slow group. we all stopped at the buck dam and had lunch, after we were all done me and my buddies led the pack at OUR own pace. we wheeled for about 30 min and then stopped and waited an hour and a half for them to catch up.  so if your going in a big group be prepared. im not going to anymore, but im still paying the fee for the raffle and dinner and all that

I'm going and counting on a slow run to the springs. I'm heading in Wed. morning and kind of looking forward to cruising the 'Con. Every other time I have tended to race it. (probably will Sat. morning on the way out)

your leaving sat morning. sat afternoon is the most important part of the run........the raffle

[RokCrawlinToy [OP]]

I heard the raffle is going to be on Fri night this year, so that people can have Sat. & Sun to get off the trail.

[Slolyfe]

Yea, Im thinkin about it. Whats the deal is it like Marlins trip or different?

[RokCrawlinToy [OP]]

Its a TLCA run with organized groups for the most part, there are a few unorganized groups that organizers allow IIRC.

Hey guys check this out-

I am working on a small side project and found an award for Marlin that he won at the FIRST Rubithon event in 1989!!

In case you are wondering, Marlin has made all 21 events except for one, I think in 2001 ?

Huge Thanks to the entire Marlin crew for attending Rubithon, and a huge thanks for Chris!

this year was my first time going to rubithon. it was the most fun i have ever had. i was signed up to do the 0900 run but was talked into doing a later run which i think was the better choice. the group of guys were all hella cool and knowledgeable. the weather turned out to be perfect the whole weekend and my truck held up great.
it is now my fav event of the year and i cant wait till next years. the wife and i plan on going every year we can.
