Jabo and I have basically the same distance (I'm about an hour south of him.)

I may be hauling 2 Buggies, an Honda Oddy, and a KZ 750 ATV. There's a chance the Oddy and/or the ATV won't be going (those guys aren't sure they can get the time off..).

So, long story short.. If I'm able to go and if I have room I'll haul Jabo's buggy to Missouri for him. No promises yet as I'm still not 100% certain I'll be able to go. Which if I can't would just suck.

Are you planning to go?
I think you'd get the distance award.

How you doing? Parked beside you at Paddy's. I think you have been to ST Joe. They have a 86db noice restriction. Not sure where my carts stack up with that. Any good advise? You always have some.
Still fighting my desease. 2 more surgeries the last 3 weeks. Scewing with this for 2 years. Have been everywhere.
Got 2 more karts. Kinroad 250 and currently working on a Joyner 650 spider. Haven't done much for a month, because of surgery.
Did sell out last Fall, so I AM retired. I sure want to get to Bash and spend more time this time around. Hopefully off the meds so I can enjoy a beer or-----------!!!!!
Good to see you name and look forward to hearing about "sound".
Thanks
Jim


Hi Jim,
I met you at Paddy's last year as well.
My brother has run both drilled out as well as performance pipes on his YFZ, never had a problem. I agree with Hoodlum, I do not think you will have a problem. I have never seen anyone stopped.

From home it will be a 77.7 mile trip. But I will be staying at the cabin 26.5 miles away.

You can imagine the hardships I will have to face to get there this year Embarassed Very Happy

I would like to go, but it's three days on the road for three days of buggying and then three days back home. I prefer on staying somewhere longer than what the roundtrip takes and 12 days would burn up too much vacation.

My wife has half the vacation time I do, so there is no way she could come. Sorry guys, I'd rather vacation with my wife than with other buggy nuts. Please do not take offense by this comment. If I was within 2-days drive, we would attend.

If I did attend, I bet some FL nut would show up from the Glades and I would still miss out on the distance award...

From Taylor Ridge, IL - 345 miles. Mapquest says 5 hours, 37 minutes.

I think I could shave an hour off that. Very Happy

That's too bad, looked forward to meeting you and your family.
My trip will take me 2 days each way. I plan on being there Thursday - Sunday, leaving Monday morning. Wow, I just remembered I haven't even thought about food yet... More planning...
