2011 Haspin pic/video thread

[swbradley1]

It was my first year with a truck and I had a great time.

I'd like to point what a great group of members we have and it's easy to do when you see how everyone jumped at the chance to help with a recovery on Sat night.



Only bad spot was ambush photography by someone with no concept of what a flash does to your night vision.

 

[kipman]

yup

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Not a problem unless you are on the perimeter.

 

[Speddmon]

Great pics everybody. I wish I had a camera with me, but I was too busy being stupid and following gimp pretty much wherever he went. If he can do it, so can I....um...sometimes!

 

[AMGeneral]

Anyone know how things went for the guy with the busted sector shaft? Did he end up getting a column?

No clue on that one Gimp,I asked DH about it this morning,he also had no idea.

I'm not even sure they got it outta the woods.

 

[kipman]

They did, it was not pretty, but they did.

And thanks to the recovery party that picked up myself and Doc, things got a little strange.

Gimp,

They had the truck at camp, with the broken box out this morning about 10 AM. He said he had a whole new box coming from Cincinnati off another truck.

What time did you guys get him towed back to the camp? We hit the sack about midnight and hadn't heard a peep yet.

About 2:00 ish.

We had a blast! We hope to catch up with you all again next year!

I don't know what time it was, but I think I left my voice there. It was late.

 

[Chevracer87]

This was my first year going and I cannot wait to go again next year. It was great getting to meet everybody. However, next year I will remember to keep my thumbs out of the wheel. OUCH!

... However, next year I will remember to keep my thumbs out of the wheel. OUCH!

'OUCH!' is an understatement!

I learned the same thing my first time at Haspin (even though it wasn't SS weekend).

I must have missed the paragraph in the operator's manual that warned of "thumb removal"

Dave

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yup, you will learn that lesson more than once, if your name is Gimp.

We put the steering box in Littlefoots truck this afternoon. I came back to Cincy and pulled it out of the unit we are restobobbing. Then went back and installed it Also had to repair a broken injection pump line.

We really want to thank Nick and his wife and Doug, you are the man. And a big thanks to Kip and the others that helped with the tree removal. Thanks also to The fellas in the USMC deuce who tried to help winch us. I know I am missing others to thank Like Docfarmall who tried to find us a steering box. To everyone else I have missed THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

This was Littlefoot and my first time at a SS rally but not our last.

Dave I hope your thumb gets better.

Ted (My wife and I were in the Green Side by Side That went every where the deuces went. We now call it the Micro deuce.

I had a great time didn't get many pictures I was to busy playing. Nice that the first pic of this years rally on here is of my truck suck and looks as though most of the rest of the pics of my truck are of it being stuck also. LOL Thanks Michelle for hooking up to winch cable.
