Considering the amount of hours your buggies were on the trails I'm surprised there not in a million pieces. I think you and the boys got the most riding time in over anyone at the bash.

Bvroc lets not forget your rollover Next time that happens you need to move your arms so I know your not dead Got me running up hills and I'm a smoker

Thanks for coming up so fast! I was holding onto the steering wheel really tightly waiting for the falling over part to be done with before I did anything else - like sticking my arms out. For a few seconds I thought I might slide back down the hill or something...I threw out the thumbs up asap.

Remember folks, only one show per day, thank you!

I would like to thank Digger for all his hands on help. Funny man for all the tools and parts. Ray and Bigger Eric for well letting me use what ever I asked to borrow as well as for the parts to get Diggers boy back out there. BigE and Funnyman for chilling me out about my new motor I had cause though. Jon for helping on the buggy and the Blacks Mike for all the patiance with us when helping or breaking. I see many more rides in the future

I kept saying the same thing, as just about every time we came back we had some fewer parts - my kids even broke the radios we were using to communicate. Thinking about it more - I lost a muffler isolation clamp, and my speedo quit working. I was a couple threads away from losing the bolts holding the main axle drive gear onto the Carbide - that would have been fun. We beat our buggy's a bunch and overall, they just kept working. We smashed over stuff, drove into trees, pounded up hills, beat the snot out of the drivelines in the sand and the woods, flew up in the air over jumps, flipped, crashed over boulders and it was great. About the only thing we didn't do was a "Ray-and-Eric style" mud swim.

When I drove them up onto the trailer this morning, they both barely ran - and that was pretty well earned.

Does losing my leatherman count? Does my son losing some tools in the sand count? (There's a great story behind that incident having to do with him returning to our camp to get me a spare tire after I had a flat - let's say that I eventually ended up with a socket and extension brought to me out at trail 300 which were borrowed from Funnyman)

that counts, my wife had my keys to the store , truck and the lock on the trailer. well when we came back from one of many rides she had went over some of the whoops in the sand and the container that was on the rear rack was open, needless to say the keys were gone, thank goodness I had spare

bvrok I knew something was wrong when I looked in my mirror and the flag was sideways. that one spot had peoples number

It was a pleasure meeting you and the wife, it was nice putting a face to my parts dealer! I plan on many more rides with you guys in the future. Everyone was absolutely great to meet - I'm glad I finally got involved with the buggy community!

All of these stories....
This is why I encourage people to go to the National Bash and to get people together for local/regional Bashes.

Good Times,
Great People,
Good Rides,
Great Stories,
Memories to Last a Lifetime.

Stardawg, you can't do things like that in front of a pregnant woman. I didn't break my water but I almost pee'd my pants! Of course it was once I knew you were okay.

April (Mrs. Digger) and I were so amazed with it going up that hill we didn't think to take pictures!

Glad I didn't send anyone into labor. I wish you had got video...we could've won $10,000 on AFV
