the speed limit is 15m.p.h. on the paved portion of the road.
and 5m.p.h. in the parking lot.
and even though we are constantly avoiding the clueless as we shuttle up and down.(the truck i was in yesterday came close to being hit, as were the other two trucks i'm sure.)
that doesn't give us any leeway to do the same.

we were pounded yesterday with complaints from the security officer and by a few p.m.'s i just read on the club site.
speeding and cutting corners were the two gripes.

we are anything but low-profile as we shuttle.
and we are now being watched like a hawk.
we've had our one and only warning about this.
and i'm passing it on to anyone who will be driving up there this year.

the word is that anyone caught speeding is subject to removal.
both the trucks owner and whoever the driver may be at the time.
i didn't ask if removal meant for the day, weekend, year or for good.
because right about then one of the trucks came down and off the mt. and into the lot at more than 15m.p.h.
it's hard for me to defend us when it's happening right in front of us while we're talking about it.

i'll always stick up for us when the complaints come in.
because i know that all three trucks were being driven in a manner that was far more responsible than 90% of the other traffic on that road.

so please just take it a liitle slower.
the small amount of extra time it may take isn't worth getting tossed out over.
besides we spend far more time screwin around in the parking lot.
it's not like we're ever all standing there ready to load up as soon as it arrives.

i'll be bumping or re-posting this thread off and on throughout the year as it falls down the page or before a large crowd is expected.

i think this is much ado about nothing.
we haven't been up there en mass like that since early november.
i'm sure this just took folks by surprise.

i wonder how many of the ones who said something, were the ones who were racing and cutting corners and actually gave US the dirty looks.

and as loaded down as your truck was, i doubt you could get up past the limit anyway.
so you might want to keep the nos.

saturday was a damn good day !!!

Yeah, whitey was taken it pretty hard on Saturday so I guess I'm gonna have to limit the load to just 4 riders instead of 6.

Your truck will resent you if you "lighten the load". No Toyota likes to think it's owner doubts it.:twitch:
Ok, so Butch says he's pay for my new transmission! Thanks Butch:clapping:

My truck doesn't think it only has 4 cylinders so it can't spare the output.

as long as you don't mind the dogs...

And with enough riders and lead time I can make a keg appear in moments!

I will be making a keg or two appear at my house on the 20th. Anyone in for riding and party may come and you can even sleep on my floor/ yard or at the course.

BTW we can make Sat the 21st a slalom race day, or is clemson this weekend?

Terry, that is Clemson's race date.
I went out there and checked it out on Saturday for the first time.
Man, those kids have put in a ton of work out there to make that place fun. Its still a small bike course, but a very fun one.
I do hope you put on a race up there though.
The more local stuff we have the better.

Joey -- you may want to add this to the sticky so that all this banter doesn't get brought back up every time you bump it. Just a thought.
