Got some northern mud on the Florida truck. Gimpy got out to take videos, I think he got out in case I rolled it........

You call THAT mud?! I get dirtier than that in my driveway, all 40 feet of it.

Looks like Haspin isn't the mud pit it was last year. I'm still looking forward to Saturday.

Lots of red dust here, we had to go to the river to find some mud.
My 09 got stuck in the river with water up to the bottom of my seats. Adam came to my rescue, but then, he had to give it a try. I think this pose is becoming a regular thing.

I will not make it to Haspin this year. I was given tickets to the NHRA drag races in Bristol, TN and headed there early Friday morning. I did manage to win an auction for an M932A1 from Wright Patterson today. Shows less than 500 miles and 224 hrs on the engine.

Of course, the feet dry, safety of the shore heckling crew were doing their part in letting Adam know that they had told him there were no beaver dams in that river.

 

[rbeasley66]

Your right, those are kayaks going around the 5 ton in the river.

1 more day in "****" oh I mean work and then it's off to Haspin. Can't wait to finally meet you all and finally put a face with the name, that and i think i am driving my wife nuts talking about this for the past 2 weeks that she can't wait for me to leave LOL, Got most of the stuff packed up in the Blazer, just got to do a walk around of it and do a double check of all the fluids and make sure everything is greased up and good to go, see you all on saturday morning.

I would expected no less from Mr McDowell. I just hope Rick & JP do not follow his lead.

Adam pulled Rick out of there first! I guess Adam thought his truck could swim!

 

[Speddmon]

When have you ever seen or heard of Adam passing up a water/mud hole???

I seem to remember a couple of years ago the night before the infamous "gimpy rolling his truck on it's side" incident, we spent almost 2 hours pulling Adam out of a mud hole at 0200 right after a rain storm...in the SAME location where gimp rolled the truck later that very morning!

Had to post. From 2010. Note Adam's reaction to getting stuck in the mud traps.

i'm set up in the gimpy compound where everyone has to walk with a limp

brains!

The Flag is flying in honor of our Country.

GimpyRob compound, where you either have to limp or be kin to someone that limps, is command center central. Where all major decisions are made for the day and the event.

Our commander, General GimpyRob, working on making a major decision.

If you don't see you rig in these photos, then your not here

 

[phil2968]

OK, who left Gimpy in charge of Haspin! I guess if he is sleeping deuce's will stay an their tires!
Rick, don't let him drive the M1009! Unless you need a new roof!
That ferroequinologist don't know a road that don't have rails on it! I would not follow him into a Wal-mart!

[RAYZER]

Glad you made it there safe Rick! It's funny to see the stuff there that we loaded on your trailer in Florida!

 

[rbeasley66]

Having a great time and meeting some good people.

 

[maddawg308]

Good Lord, where is everyone? I remember 2009 and 2010, that lower field was wall to wall green iron. I haven't seen it that sparse since 2007...

I fear rising fuel prices and the crappy economy are to blame, it's affecting all the other car shows as well.

Well, if I can say so myself - I still wish I was there. And I sure do hope to be there next time. Hope you guys are having fun out in IN.

 

[rbeasley66]

There are trucks still coming in, I'm watching one parking right now. Wish you were here maddawg308.
