Do you have internet access there with a smartphone, or a laptop?

Could tether my phone. I have a solid 4g signal.

Hey guys, had a great time all day! Until i burnt out an alternator on the ride home...7 hours later finally got home. Videos and pictures up later.

The truck didn't want you to have headlights apparently.

It's always a fun time at Rausch Creek! Even when the rain starts falling sideways!

It's a shame they don't have small fixed pavilions at RC like they do at Haspin, Having them might've kept a few campers around until Sunday morning.

Either way, still had a great time, was good to see the die-hards that did show up despite the threat of rain. It's not Springtime without an RC run!

We didn't make it. I'm sure many were deterred by the rain. We WILL be there next year. Definitely attending the show a Sussex fair grounds at the end of April. Weather is breaking, search for our first deuce is on!!

I wimped out too due to the rain. I am honest about it...

I had a great time as well, despite the fuel filter hiccup on Saturday morning and the 7 hour ride home. My rear driveshaft broke on the way home about 10 miles from Rausch Creek (190 miles from my destination). I removed the rear driveshaft and drove home in 4 wheel drive. We will see if any fluid remains in the transfer case after the driveshaft removal and the now opened up tailshaft housing for those 190 miles. I did make it home, so hopefully enough is still in there to keep the transfer case from destroying itself. Thanks to Irishvin for staying with me and actually towing my trailer for over 100 miles (I was trying to keep as little strain as possible on my compromised drivetrain), despite his own alternator trouble. It was an interesting ride home in the pouring rain to say the least. Even the smallest convoy (2 vehicles) can be a big advantage. It was really great to see everyone. Thanks to all who helped diagnose my fuel filter trouble. See you in the fall.

[PlethoraOfGuns]

We just woke up and everyone seems to have left, haha.

 

[InfiniteFoamies]

So what happens to all those tires?.. lol.

Glad I left, as it looks like the camping area must be underwater.

Are those tires still sitting there?

Also, I forgot to say bye to you guys.

 

[215Dave]

Guess the wheels were of no use to either you guys?
