|

I know it's months away but some people need to plan early: The Modesto Ridge Runners would like to invite you to participate in there 40th Annual High Desert Rally, this is a great event put on by wonderful people. The off road rally has 5 check point during its approx. 120-140 mile course, there is a fuel check point if needed, the course has something for everybody.This is a family fun event. The event takes over the small town of Hawthorne, Nevada.There are general safety requirements. Seat belts,batteries secured, fire extinguisher, shovel, all lug nuts, spark arrestor. all stuff you should have anyway. I look forward to this event every year, it is the best off road event in the Northern Nevada/ Northern Cal area. I will post a flyer soon.let me know if you have any questions in the mean time, Matt.. sorry the date is August 8-9th. _________________ It's not the size of your shop, it's what comes out of it that counts.

Sorry, the date is August 8th and 9th, yes I will post some pics soon, all I have is the line up before the start, last year there was everything from full on pre-runners to enetry level off road rails. After the event there is a buffet and awards events. most people arrive on Friday and hang out by the pool. This is the 40th year of the event. and each year the club trys to change the course a bit. The people are great and the event is awsume. _________________ It's not the size of your shop, it's what comes out of it that counts.

I just found this and now I'm psyched for next year! My Baja is ALLLmost done enough and I will plan for next year. I'll be 41 too!
Why do you suggest to trailer a Baja?

You trailer in case you break something playing that far away from home is why. _________________ Panic, Chaos and Disorder, My work here is done! |

You are under estimating this course, we would really like to have you join us next year. but bring an trailer. I have never seen anyone drive to the event, do the event and drive home. I would be impressed. if you have any questions about the event, feel free to ask, Matt _________________ It's not the size of your shop, it's what comes out of it that counts.

Is this going on again this year? I think I would like to bring my rail down and test it out. Sounds really fun. _________________ --inzel--

I am going to seriously try to get my rail done and make it down to this. Do you have to _race_ or can you just cruise the trails at your own leisure? _________________ --inzel--

This is NOT A RACE. its a ralley, you go at your own pace. The event takes over the small town, and everyone has a great time. _________________ It's not the size of your shop, it's what comes out of it that counts.
