2014 SoCal Spring Rally

[Warthog]

We're going to bring some rubbery firestarters picked off the highway.

I'm sure with the severe drought that any uncontained fire will be illlegal. Not to mention that burning rubber is not environmental or human friendly.

If you did that at the GA rally you would be told to leave in a not very friendly manner and never allowed back.

While, the burning of tires is not good for the air, I can assure you the drought there is not a problem, there is nothing to burn there, except what we bring....

WRONG. The hillsides behind both camp locations have been set on fire multiple times. It's not the Sahara Desert with endless miles of nothing but sand, there is brush, bushes and other flammables everywhere.

And the burning tires behind the ATV wasn't my only concern - the dust of lap after lap after lap around the campfire with zero regard for participants trucks, cars, equipment was a huge turn off. Even though it seemed that a majority of those standing around the campfire wanted it to stop, it kept on.

I've had some great times at Dirtbag and at the Socal rallys. I've made life long friends there, but I don't need that.

I think we can all agree that it was somewhat unpleasant and that it will not happen again this year.

Beer Summit!

I have camped in that general are many times, all I remember is sage brush, scattered about, about every 10-20 feet, hardly a wildfire threat. I am a new guy and have no knowledge of the shenanigans before, so I will shut up and not say more unless spoken to!!

 

[FASTNOVA]

OK, now that we talked about what we are not to do. Let's talk about what we are going to do.
I bought this new gizmo that will allow me to take aerial shots. So you guy's better have the tops of your truck's clean or you will wind up with an ugly year book photo and I know you won't like that. Now hopefully I won't break the thing before the rally .

[Russm]

Oh noes I didn't intend to start this debate

 

[FASTNOVA]

Drone skeet huh...I'll keep that in mind.
Just in case anyone is looking there is plenty free firewood on craigslist. I will probably pick some up this weekend.
I hate to do stuff at the last minute.

Depending on finances, I might be able to bring out the big New girl. Low budget version is trailering out the M38A1.

 

[papaydsailor]

[Gripy]

Hopefully its not too windy to set up the screen!

 

[FASTNOVA]

All you have to do is tie it between the two 5 tons and we're good.

 

[blisters13]

Drone skeet huh...I'll keep that in mind.

How about like what the military did in WWII: fly the drone trailing a flag target and shoot the target.....
