I finally got her apart and if I can get a wrecker working I have one week to put her back together again.
OMG Fearoquinnolgiostios What did that poor truck ever do to you?
It won't run fast enough for Angie, so he's putting an LDS into it so she can do 60 uphill! (In fifth gear)I finally got her apart and if I can get a wrecker working I have one week to put her back together again.

Yes!If you video can you still ride in the convoy after the convoy goes by?
Once we get going, out on the road, 3-5 minutes depending on number of trucks. We seem to avg about 50 vehicles, so figure 10-15 trucks per minute by a fixed point.John, can you estimate how long it would take for the convoy to pass a given point? I might be able to do a pass with the drone . With h the new gimbal I can get right at 9 minutes of flight time depending on the winds.
I went back and watched the 2013 video. With 36 vehicles, it took 2 minutes and 6 seconds on the first "pass" and 2 minutes, 10 seconds on the second.John, can you estimate how long it would take for the convoy to pass a given point?

I can get it from the Rally to the GA/AL line off I-20. ke5eua might be able to get it further than I can west though.I am trying to find a ride part way/all the way back to San Antonio, TX for an M915 AC Kit. I might have one but need to be ready in case they are unable to attend the Rally. The entire kit weighs 185 or so in the box. ( Can probably be taken out of box and individual parts moved one at a time.
Thanks, Mik

I'll be heading that way. Dropping the trailer at fuzzys and stopping by David's then on my way to temple.I am trying to find a ride part way/all the way back to San Antonio, TX for an M915 AC Kit.

Keep me in the loop on this, ideally we should have some shots from both the drone and the ground video at the same spot more or less, so we can play around and fuse the material together later.We can try that, but it is like herding cats. The problem seems to be that the trucks that are lined up, block the trucks that are trying to get to the rear of the line. Plus turning the trucks back in the woods by the track is tough, if the civi folks are racing back there.
Two years ago, we lined up on the paved road, and by the time we had everybody out there, the lead truck was at the DT's main building, and tail dog charlie was down by DT Mike's house.
I went by DT last Friday, but other than giving the main field a quick look over, I did not go back into the grove of trees behind the clay pit. Maybe we can rough out a path, and line everybody up in a big loop though the trees.
