2012 Haspin info/dates/attendance

[swbradley1]

Might cause issues. Inside the fence is supposed to be quiet after 12 midnight. Some folks were sent back to Chicago one year for running the genny all night.

Key word, "supposed".

If they wanted to keep it quiet inside the fence they would lose too much business. Quiet time and a 5MPH speed limit inside the fence hasn't worked the last three years with the pinheads on their quad runners AND the bikes.

Ooops, now I'm a quad owner.


No truck again this year. I burned up the alternator trying to jump start 4 dead batteries in the 818 and I don't have a pulley to put on the new civi one. So it's the winged Dodge again (and the quad).

No, I'm not going to get stressed out about it. It is my only "single" vacation this year and it is to be with friends, the truck is secondary.

Gimp's truckless too! I'll have the M35, but it won't see much trail action. I've power washed and repacked bearing enough, now it's fun to watch the other guys wheel.

 

[eagle4g63]

Oh man!!!! Gimp without a truck?? How's he suppose to flip it on its side?

And here I was bringing my good camera

Littlefoot (The guy that broke his steering last year) and I will both be there Saturday and Sunday. We will both be truckless. Mine is in about 100 pieces and his is has a blown tranny and clutch and brakes. We are bringing 4 wheelers. Its just fun being around everyone. We are all looking forward to it. There will be about 7 in our group.

Me and My Son will be there either late friday or very early saturday morning, will be bringing my M1009 (which my wife calls it Tweety Bird) since it's painted yellow and white, like to have it back to camo but who else in the U.S. has one that color with a light bar on top, can't miss me coming lol, looking at the weather it looks like we will have beautiful weather for it

Getting close. JUst purchased the food for Adam, Neil, Angie and myself. Steak, Pork Chops, Chicken, Ham, 10 kinds of chips, and 20 kinds of cookies. 3 dozen eggs, 4 lbs of bacon, 36 sausage links, and the same in patties. Sweet rolls, Danish.

We arn't going hungry.........

 

[Stretch44875]

I just dropped 220 in food for 5 guys, and that didn't count about 40 in donated food. We don't go hungry either!

I get to go to work tomorrow, thinking half day Tuesday, then heading out wed. Should be there around 2 ish... Maybe sooner if we get rolling and everything goes well.

M35 is running about 24,000lbs with the trailer, toys, and tools. Bus is about 22,000lbs with camper. It will be a Multi vs stock 5.9 cummins.....

 

[swbradley1]

Now I feel bad. Maybe I should go buy more food for the cat.

 

[EMD567]

Just got back from Sam's, where I found the XXL size peanut M&M's, and 90 bottles of water and 40 cans of coke for the mixed drinks. Glad I ain't driving at Haspin!!

 

[swbradley1]

Glad I ain't driving at Haspin!!

The wildlife, the trees and anyone else on the trails are grateful too John.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

So, there will be like, 4 trucks out of 40 people that will be trailriding?

 

[EMD567]

Gives you plenty of room to tear the place up...........

 

[swbradley1]

There may be more quad runners this year than MVs.....

 

[197thhhc]

I wanted to get my truck finished to bring, but the project is spiralling out of control. I keep adding to my to do list.

 

[eagle4g63]

Figured I would be able to see a lot of other trucks while I was there......didn't know I could do the same thing at Carmax!!!!


I guess I am going to be one of the "4" trucks there

 

[eagle4g63]

P.S. I guess it is a good thing I am also bringing my quad......that way I can fit in

 

[augiedoggy]

Maybe those 'MV less' could trailride in rainbowboxers bus!

Or John's 814 will hold a lot of folks

 

[gimpyrobb]

Tell Niel to bring his busted ladder, I might be able to fix it for him.

 

[XanRa]

Well, I'm out. Just got a job so I can't afford the time off right now. Will hope and plan on Haspin 2013.

that's what i had to say when I learned Haspin was happening

this thread, and all the.... "wonderful" posts in it are why i love this place


-haven't been on in months-

nice to see everyone still remembers gimps skill at flipping things

 

[Matt1970M35A]

Ill have a one of the 4 trucks. Wish I could find a way to haul my M149 and Kubota RTV. Just need a 30 foot long trailer. Maybe next year.
