Are you bringing the family or planning on having an RV for yourself?

I'm bringing the family. My RV will need to be an F-bomb-free zone.

I have no problems keeping the words clean but keeping the topics of discussion clean is a little tougher.

I'm not worried. My daughter likes to talk about the shape/color of her poop, just like the rest of us.

Sounds like doug's owner-rental place is the bomb diggity.

ghostrider · Jan 17, 2006

I just set up my RV at the Messner place I posted above. I suggest giving the dude a call. He seems cool and low stress. I was deliberately vague about where I was taking it, though. I'm going "camping near Tucson" with mine.

just waiting to hear from peter / see if interested in the extra days & if he wants to put it in his name

oh, and it must have been "Tolleson, AZ"

douglas · Jan 19, 2006

we are going to get it for the extra days / I forwarded Peter the reservation form (it needs to be in his name being he's driving/getting picked up 1st)

Still looking for a team... Apparently my reputation of blinding speed is scaring people off.

Teams are just afraid of the smackdown they will receive from the Beasts From The East when you join.

Get a sex change, we can change to a 5 person co-ed.

If you were any sort of man, you would sign up with me in the duo class and race on two teams.

Actually I plan on doing the Razorback 12 hour race in Florida at the same time.

Wuss, there ain't no hills in Florida.

suck it up, enter duo with yourself......at least you'll be guarentted to have the fastest lap on your team

An excellent idea! I'm entering as Team Darrell and Darrell.

ghostrider · Jan 25, 2006

Ok boys, I'm finally on a team. I doubt this group will be down for the RM Cup competition (myself included), but the fastest lap trophy should still be up for grabs. At some point in the very near future we'll have to nail down who has what to bring. All I know is one of the dudes on my team is bringing a cord of firewood and few thousand beers. We'll also have to work out the logisticals of securing a camp where we can all be together for maximum stupidity.

Yeah, the whole thing just sorta fell apart....Chickenhawk had to drop out for work, Kalvin can't go.....my wife will be flying back from Colorado on that thursday, and the logistics of trying to intercept her in Phoneix was getting more complicated etc etc etc. Count me in for a ride when you get back here Echo, and our guest room is always open for you guys.

I will be leaving from colorado .. possibly wednesday -or early early thursday .... if that can be of some assistance ....

mantispf2000 · Jan 25, 2006

So I'm talking with my brother (the "non-Iraq" one) about getting out and setting up. Since we want to go to Rocky Point, Mexico, after the event, he tells me it wouldn't be a good idea to bring the Bill's Beer and Bait Shop truck, since we'd have to go back to Phoenix to return it, then back south. So now what am I going to do for libations and fishing equipment? Does that mean I have to bring a standard Coleman cooler? Oh well, something about getting south of the border for shrimp/beer/sand/sunset/etc makes me give him the go-ahead to cancel the truck reservation. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I'm skating out on meeting you all so I can put a face to a name........

ghostrider · Jan 26, 2006

I'm assuming mantis and mcgowanc are going to set up shop in the solo area? If not, let us know and we'll rope off some additional space in the cool people zone.

team of 4 or ?
so are we at 3 RV's now? (I'll asume Chelsea will take a solo campsite)
I hope Peter & I will be gettting there thursday in the daylight, but you never know we might end up doing some last minute "training" with some hot phoenix mudhunnies

My goal is to try and grab a solo spot

It is a 4-dude operation. I think there is a n00b and a few vets. If you don't get there in the AM my team will probably have the task of selecting a spot. Hopefully we get something low enough that we don't start ripping parts off the RVs.

mantispf2000 · Jan 26, 2006

Now why would I have to be in the "cool" area, when living around Tahoe and the snow makes it cold already? Oh, different subject. Ghost, you and Echo, among others, know I'm going to be looking for you for the llllooonnnggg overdue "thanks" I owe you, as well as having a cold one or two. Since I'm hooking up with my brothers and a couple of friends, and I have some "heart-to-heart" talks lined up with them, I might, just might, have to decline your offer of space. Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciate it. And I may still take you up on it. I just don't know as of this moment in time. Just to be safe, keep an eye out for a green Mazda MPV with NV plates "MTB FAM".

mantispf2000 · Jan 26, 2006

Westy-- My plans, depending on when I actually start vacation from work, is to leave home (outside Carson City) on Wednesday, arrive at bro's place in Maricopa that night, get to Tucson/event Thursday to set up, pre-ride Friday while bro's picks up Iraq-returned bro at the airport, then have a blast. Ask Echo or Ghostrider what my reason for riding is (not that I don't want to explain, just not a good time right now). And your name is on my list of "must meets", too, ok? I look forward to a group pre-ride, as long as you don't mind my set-up. You'll understand when you see it.

Thanks, I remembered the thread after reading Mantissises's signature.

So is your team full of Bikini clad Amazon warriors?

Nope, I turned them town in favor of a nice beer-swilling family atmosphere. It sounds like it's a big group of teams that all want to camp together, so it should be a good party.

douglas · Jan 26, 2006

It was real close last year!

Echo 1> 1:10:09
ghostrider 1> 1:11:55

Echo · Jan 26, 2006

I'll be lucky if I can even drag my fat ass all the way around that course this year.

ghostrider · Jan 26, 2006

Westy said:
In all your beer swilling and family fun don't forget about the most coveted award you will be competing for, the Strossman Fastest Lap. Echo says he is going to kick your ass.

Disclaimer: he really didn't say that but for gods sake we need something to smacktalk about.

I need a bigger challenge than that. Isn't the Ridemonkey Fastest Lap trophy up for grabs at this event? Should we throw in some new categories? I propose the following:

-Bonehead of the Race Award
-Highest BAC at Midnight Award

I'd bet those 2 would go to the same person

I think ECHO already has the fast lap & team trophy's to bring out.
