What fun!!!! - 29/07/04 06:05 PM

Just got back from my couple of days.

Carnage has begun so far:

4 broken motor mounts
1 torn air intake
possible hub failure
gas gauge failure
and of course the usuall scrapes

Next year I really need to get more time off.

Wish I had pics but the camera is broke.

Well, until here, seems like Roger is the big winner of GOX Carnage wink , and Ivan is abiding by the "Stuff to remember" section of the Event Brochure ("Ivan is not allowed to break anything") [Laughing]

Actually Roger has not broken anything on his truck (as of my leaving Thursday morning). The motor mount and intake were on DBAX. I'm still not sure about my left front hub, I think it got boogered up during the extraction to save the truck. A small price to pay in my book.

Ivan broke enough stuff on AZ Run IV this spring that he should be safe (motor mount, calmini tierod adjustor, etc.)

Roger finished off the mount/intake Thursday on Taylor pass and where else but in the middle of the creek. That sucked we were able to get it to a dry spot finally though.

Kev,

You forgot Erik's brother Chris. He got electrocuted trying to repair Roger's motor mount in the creek on Taylor Pass.

He's okay and all of his parts are in working order. smile

Everything's fine mechanical wise.

I just got wheeled out. It was a long tough week.

Know what you are saying. Just the first 2 days was more than enough for me. But then again I was living on only a couple hours sleep between days and even the start.

welcome back!

Besides the motor mount I blew a shock and snapped off my CB antenna spring.

Did anyone else have a rachet strap melt off besides me? After I put the fingers on the straps they quit rubbing through, but they eventually melted off the hook at the engine.
