[ShutUpHippie]

Okay, it's official.

Working on meeting places, times, directions, etc..

Will add them to the necessary pages when they are firmed up.

- Rob

[Roostercruiser]

i am a maybe. ill be on vacation then. it all depends .it would be fun

[Rob]

Looks like fun, but that's a long way from Longmont. :(

[Roostercruiser]

if i do go ill bring my kids buggy and powerwheels. my daughter would have fun on that course in her buggy.

[WINKY]

im out for training.

[ShutUpHippie]

What kind? (hijack myself)

[colomil]

If I can borrow my freind's trailer I will try to bring my race truck out there.

[ShutUpHippie]

I have a question: Where did everyone meet last time there was a CORE run?

I am almost thinking about just meeting up there, as there are many ways to get there from North, South, etc.

[WINKY]

What kind? (hijack myself)
ill be returning from portland that saturday for telecom training


I have a question: Where did everyone meet last time there was a CORE run?

I am almost thinking about just meeting up there, as there are many ways to get there from North, South, etc.

there is plenty of room to meet at the front sign in spot at core. Yes you can get off on the frontage road either north or south of it. ANd i think it is more the the stated 50 miles to get there. But fun!

[Smash]

I'm in. I really hope Roland can come, sad that it's the 12th cause then Randy can't attend. But, count us in, going on the calendar now.


WOOHOO FIRST RUN!!

[WINKY]

well if you all stay there for a full day of running i get back from portland around 11 am ish. i can head right over and play. but only if you all will stay till closing or enough to get my $20 worth....

[Smash]

I already talked to Karla about this. We ARE staying til they close. We aren't gonna shell out $20 for a half day. So, get your butt up there as soon as you can and look for us. We'll wait for you even if everyone else leaves.

[JeffX]

Can somebody post a map? I might make it.

Beat me to it!

Karla just got home Randy, confirmed we will be staying until they close. :thunb:

[ShutUpHippie]

So the meeting time is 9:00am @ the CORE entrance area. I figure we'll wait around for 15 min or so, but if anyone shows up late, they can hit channel 4 on the CB to figure out where we all are (I'll dish out my phone # on the RSVP page in case someone doesn't have a CB)

[Smash]

Sounds good, we'll see you there. Will RSVP now.

[WINKY]

I know last time he let us free roam around the park, when doing so when you come across any paths or traffic lanes of a course look both ways first. there are all kinds of vehicles out there. if there are events going on you can drive around the whole thing as well.

[ShutUpHippie]

It doesn't look like there is anything on the calendar there for that weekend as of yet.

This will be a great opportunity for pictures and testing! Hope to see a good turnout.

[WINKY]

oh yeah there are plenty o places to have fun. spotters will be needed on a few.

when you all get there, drive up to the white trailer on the left, sign in and pay the $ be careful of little ones runnin round that area. ask the guy or owner if free run is ok and what events are going on last minute. hes cool, try not to purposely tear stuff up either. (donuts spinouts etc... to show off)

[ShutUpHippie]

One of us will have to supply the lardcakes!

I will bring some for sure :thunb:

[WINKY]

you know ill have em

[Smash]

Awesome, Karla needs to learn how to spot if we're gonna be wheeling this beast!

[ShutUpHippie]

Awesome, Karla needs to learn how to spot if we're gonna be wheeling this beast!
Or to drive...

Just don't let her take driving lessons from LaDawn :lol::

[Smash]

Lol, I don't mind if she drives sometimes, but she's agreed to learn to spot for me! :)

[WINKY]

its watching your drivelines, diffs, tranny and xfer case. also impact zones and tippyness.

[ShutUpHippie]

Just a little more tippy than the FOZ...

Whose cruiser is that?

[WINKY]

i have no idea

[zak8tac]

Im down, looks like fun. Is it a good time for anybody with a semi stock rig? And is there a gas station near by? 18 gallon tank with a big block 390 = very poor range haha. It looks like just a giant field with obstacles built into it, am I about right?

[Smash]

Yeah, there are 2 gas stations in deer trail, I checked already.

[zak8tac]

Okay sweet, I'll be coming from 136th and I-25, anybody want to meet up and cruise down together? I can only run about 60 mph though lol

[Smash]

Lol! I had the 'burb up to 75mph without any trouble, but I'll probably run it slower to save on gas. We're at 70 and Kipling on the west side of town, so we'll just be grabbing 70 and heading straight out.

[transplant87]

Okay sweet, I'll be coming from 136th and I-25, anybody want to meet up and cruise down together? I can only run about 60 mph though lol
im on I-70 and airport if u want to hook up, and ur not the only 1 with poor gas range and i only have a 302(5.0):thunb:

Bring an extra can; it's about 5 miles to Deer Trail from CORE ;)

[Smash]

I'm just gonna steal gas from your outback. You won't need much to get back home, even pulling the bug. :thunb:

[SubaCool]

Actually, it's more than that. Bunch of tracks for all kinds of offroad fun. Bring your truck, bike, quad, buggy, rally car, whatever. You're gonna have fun :thunb:

I'm super stoked for sure, got the lady to take the day off. I've been looking for people to wheel with so glad I've got the opportunity now!

Looking forward to the weekend, wrenching/learning should help.

You guys should've warned me that this would be as bad as waiting for Christmas as a kid!

[WINKY]

you knew the warning signs... we all warned you but noooooo you had to go out and buy a rig.... jeeesh......:D

[WINKY]

you need to change your signature too.... something more fitting

[Smash]

Yeah, I'm trying to think of something. Will probably come up with something at CORE.

[transplant87]

we can get a front tire up on a cement tube and get a flex shot

[WINKY]

there is a spot where he can get that thing stupid tippy on 3 wheels downhill and get a pic!

[transplant87]

[WINKY]

[Smash]

I wouldn't advise riding with me, I don't know what I'm doing!!! :lol:

I do still have back seats, but not for long.

Anyone know the CORE dog policy?

[transplant87]

all dogs must be on a leash

[Smash]

Lol my dogs won't like that! I'll see if they want to go or not.

[WINKY]

No pets allowed, unless on a leash

http://www.coloradooffroadextreme.com/home/ruleswaiver.html

[transplant87]

that burd i got is a beast even tho is has blown head gasket

[Smash]

Thanks Randy. I have some really long "leashes" (aka ropes) I'll bring

[Tee Hee]

I'll probably join you guys if I can get the day off.

[SubaCool]

Anyone know the CORE dog policy?
Think of CORE as a huge offroad racetrack where you can go pretty much anywhere. Do you want your dogs ran over? Bring a leash if you insist on bringing the dogs, and keep an eye on them ;)



Also, don't forget!!! EVERYBODY needs to sign a waiver there. Carl is pretty laid back about enforcing it sometimes, but he needs those signatures from everybody (passengers included) to keep his insurance and to keep the property open to public. There's a big trailer past the mud pit, that's where he usually keeps them.

Somebody might want to send him an email that this is being planned, so he knows about it. We wouldn't want to show up there and find the gate locked :thunb:

[Smash]

Yep, totally understand the leash law, I don't have an issue with it, but the dogs will! :lol:

[SubaCool]

Somebody might want to send him an email that this is being planned, so he knows about it.
Done! :thunb:

This is not negotiable. As subacool said every single person that enters even to just watch must sign waiver.:thunb:

[Chris]

Late joiner here, w/o having to read 100+ posts can someone tell me if there's a caravan planned?

[WINKY]

ash, roland and i live fairly close to each other and we might to a convoy from here... hasnt been worked out yet though.

[SubaCool]

Well, I'm gonna have to see if I can make it now with no cash flow... Gotta change out the transmission on the Bug (got one) plus clean it up a little. It's been sitting outside for a while and is getting some surface rust on the pan (around the pedals). I need to see if I can find some garage space to work on it too (and store it til I sell it). I would really like to get it ready for a VIN inspection so I can get a title and sell it (after CORE).

[brian pleasant]

holy cow it sure is a big place..we are going for sure! maybe buy gas lock cap in case someone steal it lol

[ShutUpHippie]

Man, I hope I get my truck all fixed up by then!!

[transplant87]

Man, I hope I get my truck all fixed up by then!!
i hope u do to, hope everthing go well on ur head gaskets

[ShutUpHippie]

CORE is a ways off yet... I have time as long as nothing major is wrong.

*knocks on wood*

[ShutUpHippie]

I'm still in! The Blazer is running great after the fix, I'm so relieved. :D

[SubaCool]

I'm still in! The Blazer is running great after the fix, I'm so relieved. :D
:woot:

I'm getting my Baja home tomorrow and gonna start working on it. I've got a phone call about it today, possible buyer, so if I get it sold, I might have to back out of CORE. We'll see. Chances are he might not want it after he finds out I have no title (or will try to low ball me) :D The plan is to get it ready for CORE, and then it will get a "street make-over" so I can get it inspected and titled and hopefully sold :thunb:

Well, the Baja is sitting in my garage, the guy came to look at it and he liked. Didn't mind the no papers thing as he said he wanted an offroad racing toy that wasn't necessarily street legal (rail, Baja, etc). Said he'd think about it and call me back in a few days (i've told him i was planning on changing the trans on Thursday). So, fingers crossed, might be getting rid of it before CORE. I wouldn't mind as that would help us eliminate our last credit card, but at the same time, the Baja is growing onto me again :o

[Smash]

Hey that's great news! It'd be nice if it didn't sell as then you could bring it to CORE, but it sounds like you need to move it.

We are still in for this, have just enough to cover tranny mount, engine mounts, gas and entrance fee.

[WINKY]

your brakes will be fine for now, we checked the pads good. just change the fluid when u get a chance ash :)

[Smash]

Yep that's what I figured. Just kinda running out of time. Work has been crazy. I haven't even been able to go pull the code.

[WINKY]

good to hear your getting work in , never a bad thing!

[Smash]

Yeah busting ass to try to get this to work out so I don't have to find a new job after christmas. We'll see.

Also just signed up to volunteer at Table Mountain animal shelter, my first training is tonight (3 hours) so that's not helping!!

[ShutUpHippie]

10 DAYS!!! :drive:

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH YAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!!

[Smash]

Oooooooo. Ok, I was very confused. Thanks Chris.

[CR]

Late joiner. I'm a maybe depending on weather. Hard to plan runs that far out in the winter time being a snow plower.:D

[Smash]

As of right now looks like a clear day, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Would be nice to meet you.

[CR]

Fingers are crossed. I can't wait to meet you and the rest of the group as well. Why did this summer go by so fast? I already miss the camping and warm nights.

[Smash]

You don't have to miss camping! We camp year round. We love camping in the winter, its beautiful and quiet and you are usually the only ones out.

Great pic. That is one thing I do need to purchase. What kind of tent is that?

[Smash]

REI mountain 3 tent. Scored it as a present from my entire family (immediate and extended) 2 years ago. It has yet to let me down, but is showing signs of wear. We use it heavily year round because of it's size. My other tent is a VERY used 3 season 2 person REI backpacking tent. Not enough space now that the dogs have decided they like to sleep in the tent with us... Anyways, best 4 season mountain tent out there for your $ IMO.

[CR]

Nice.
Back on track.
I can't wait to check out CORE.

[Smash]

Lol.

Me too.

I'm hoping to pull the code on Rhino tonight!

[CR]

Good Luck. Hopefully not something too expensive.
I can't wait to see rhino in action.

You've just noticed? :p

[Brody]

I was under the impression that CORE closed when the weather got bad. I know that the last couple of years CORE closed during the winter. Someone probably needs to call if that hasn't already been done as I was online just now and couldn't find any information at all as to whether they were actually open or not.

Has anyone double checked this?

[Smash]

****. Now what.

[Brody]

Ash....you used the **** word! It has never made much sense to me why he closes. He doesn't get major snow out there and, to me, any that he got would just make for more fun.

How about we start getting some alternative suggestions going on here..

[Smash]

Haha yeah, evidently I can't cuss on here. No problem, *'s work!!

It seems so strange that he closes for teh whole winter, you'd think he'd just close if the snow got really deep. Duh. Talk about lost revenue. Oh well.

I have no idea where else to go. I might hold off until the snow melts, just use the rig for camping! Seems like a bad idea for an inexperienced driver to take their new rig out for the first time in ice and snow on trails. I liked CORE cause it was a more controlled environment.

I like CORE because I can take my un-documented Baja out there :o Maybe if we get a solid number of people wanting to go we could make it worth his time? Btw, I have not gotten a reply from Carl to my earlier email. Maybe somebody else could try calling him or emailing him? I can see why he closes for the winter though. East I-70 gets closed quite regularly during the cold months and I think he lives south of Denver. But if it's supposed to be a nice day maybe he could make an exception for a big group (and make some $$)?

[Smash]

I left a message before I saw that the website said he was closed.

[WINKY]

How about a Eagle Rock run Saturday? Should be fun with some snow on it. Probably need at least one locker and a winch.:thunb:


That puts most of us that were planning on doing CORE out.

[Chris]

It looks like this should be removed from the calendar.

Probably so. There are quite a few trails as alternatives, but they would need a different title/heading.

Slaughterhouse, Duck Creek, Chinawall, Probably most low altitude stuff in the BV area, and LeftHand Canyon are just a few that are open and can be run, but a low clearance rig would not do very well.

Some other suggestions would be welcome.

[Chris]

I can edit the exisiting event but it may end up being more confusing.

slaughter house is and duckcreek could be rran together both easy trails now. run slaughter house real quik if no snow and drive up to duck creek and there might be snow on that on.. it would be a fun combo. winky and i did that combo earlier this year. claearence really isnt an issue i ran it with a stock scout

[SubaCool]

Did anybody try to contact CORE? They might be willing to accommodate a large group.

[Chris]

Just received this:

"I am the owner of CORE and want to invite your members to join our forum. I know there was a trip planned to our park and I cannot reply on your site. I have sent an e-mail to one of your members so he can notify your group of my decission. Please forward my invitation to your members.

thank you, Carl Miron"

http://www.coloradooffroadextreme.com/forum1/

[SubaCool]

That somebody was me (you're welcome). Got a reply from Carl:

"We are doing a tuff truck show that weekend at the collisium, I am working on getting someone to go out and open for that day. I will let you know today either way!
Carl"

Let me see some hands on who can commit to going!

[Chris]

Update your RSVP's - those who said "maybe" need to commit or bail.

[SubaCool]

CORE will be open, weather permitting:


I wil have someone out there next weekend, weather permitting. Stay in touch if weather changes for the worse.

[Chris]

Let's thank Carl by having a good group show up, we'll probably have it all to ourselves. :D

[WINKY]

IM back in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Roostercruiser]

were in:thunb:

[ShutUpHippie]

Sorry guys, I have been out of town the whole weekend making sure my girlfriend was okay!! I should have really been working on this more, but it looks like it got sorted out.

Thanks to everyone that helped this run stay official (even though that was probably my job...:erm:)

:thunb:

[Chris]

Is she okay?




Slacker!

[ShutUpHippie]

She is doing just fine, her neck hurts a lot, and she gets a headache every so often. Other than the emotional damage, she'll be just fine in a few weeks physically.


Slacker!
It's true.. but I'm back now!

So should everyone that has already RSVP'ed re-do their RSVP?? I re-submitted mine just in case.

[WINKY]

just double check that your in, adjust accordingly.

[Chris]

She got all the x-rays & stuff, right?

Yes, re-do your RSVP to make sure we have a good count. I added 'maybe' back in as a choice since people are using 'yes' to say 'maybe'

[ShutUpHippie]

She got all the x-rays & stuff, right?


Yes sir. Everything checked out OK.

[Chris]

Good to hear! :thunb:

[CR]

I Still gotta be a maybe. Just because my work revolves around the weather so much. You have my word though, if it doesn't snow the day before or the day of, then I will be there.

[Chris]

Please change your RSVP, I added 'maybe' for folks like you.

Hope you can make it! :thunb:

[CR]

Done!
I'll be checking out the CORE forum soon to give thanks.

[Chris]

I updated everyone else. Right now it's 7 going and 4 maybe.

[SubaCool]

10-day forecast looks promising :thunb:

[ShutUpHippie]

If a high of 38 is promising! :lol:

...but on the other hand, I used to live in Gunnison: 38 is a heat wave baby!

[SubaCool]

If a high of 38 is promising! :lol:

...but on the other hand, I used to live in Gunnison: 38 is a heat wave baby!
It should beat being in a shade :cool:

[Smash]

Karla and I are in!!

[Smash]

Does anybody have some sleds, or even better, an innertube or two to bring? I'm thinking redneck sledding if there's enough snow....

[Fordguy77]

Does anybody have some sleds, or even better, an innertube or two to bring? I'm thinking redneck sledding if there's enough snow....

Ug that blows!! I don't even know if there's snow out there! If someone is coming that has 'em, probably just do that. Thanks! Hope you get the rnager up and running properly soon!

[Fordguy77]

Alright, the only reason i mentioned it to ya is i believe you live kinda close to my girlfriends, lil brothers best friends house. cause i always see a burb parked there when i drop him off with a 4x4 front ranger sticker. is it you haha?

[Smash]

Haha, I park the 'burb on the street behind my place. I live in the little house/townhouse/thingies with the single car garages on kipling.

[Fordguy77]

like in the area of 38 to 32? cause if so then its you

[Smash]

Yep, that's me.

[Fordguy77]

Yep, that's me.

Oh sweet, thats pretty cool.

[ShutUpHippie]

So... there has been talk of a meeting place (a while ago) that is different from the spot listed. The place listed is @ the entrance to CORE, but there has been mentionings of a convoy down there from the greater denver area.

Any suggestions? Greenmachine, I know you had a spot picked out- and anyone else is more than welcome to their opinion.

Thanks.

[WINKY]

Since the meet at core is at 9am it takes about an hour to get there. I say we all meet up at the flying j on 32nd and buckley/airport rd @8am. convoy from there.

[WINKY]

also everyone that is a maybe please update your RSVP the night before if your a yes or no. tnx!

[Smash]

Sounds like a good meetup spot to me! We will be there. You guys might have to slow down for me though, the idea of running 75 or higher in the burb really hurts my wallet!!!

[Smash]

Hey Hippie, can you update the RSVP with the meetup location and time?

[Chris]

Meeting time & place updated. ;)

[Smash]

Thanks Chris!!

Gotta check the tranny fluid before we go, but otherwise we are ready.

I don't have much by the way of tools and stuff, heck i don't even have a 4 way yet (only have one for my Forester). So, I hate to say it, but I'm coming a bit unprepared. Funds just haven't allowed me to build up what I want to carry.

Is that ok with everyone? I will respect if that makes people uncomfortable and will stay home.

[WINKY]

dont worry i will have my tools i always bring them, do you have a spare tire?

[Smash]

I do, but not sure if it holds air. I'll fill it in the morning and see what happens.

[ShutUpHippie]

Everyone keeps picking up my slack while I'm at work..

Thanks, and that meeting place sounds great Randy.

[CR]

I'll update my maybe the night before, but that meeting place sounds good see yall there.(hopefully)

[WINKY]

hey dont sweat it rob, you have been handling more important things recently.:thunb:

[Smash]

For sure Rob, just looking forward to getting to spend some time watching your K5 go to work!

Winky... Your avatar..... Scary man.

[Smash]

Hold on now... We had 7 rigs... Now we have 6.... Chris, what happened??

[Chris]

I'm a 'maybe' now but hope to make it. I'll know once it warms up a bit. :lol:

[Smash]

Don't like the cold? Hehe. Should be a balmy 40 degrees Saturday....

[Chris]

I spent 25 years in Minnesota, I've had enough of this cr@p!

40 would be fine but I need to see it.

[Smash]

lol, ok. I will wait and keep my fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate for you.

[Funrover]

I'm a 'maybe' now but hope to make it. I'll know once it warms up a bit. :lol:

Chicken :lol:

[Chris]

Chicken :lol:

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Not much fun fixing stuff when it's cold. Been there, done that.

[white collar redneck dad]

I am hoping I can go -- my boss is 10 days late on my paycheck...:mad: I funded a business / personal trip out of my pocket to houston for two weeks...so between not getting paid plus 3200 mile road trip....Im a maybe for this trip. Sorry Gang...I sure have missed wheelin.

I leave a SNOWY Houston to come back to FREEZIN Colorado!!!

[WINKY]

welcome home! HAHAHAHA

[Smash]

Oh boy. Now we're down to 5 cars. I am not sure the owner is going to be very pleased with opening for 5 rigs.... Come on guys.

[WINKY]

yep, i dont want to burn this bridge.... nor explain why we are so few...

[transplant87]

i cant make it to core. i cant affored it this time.
and the flyin J is a good spot to meet

[ShutUpHippie]

yep, i dont want to burn this bridge.... nor explain why we are so few...
Tis the season...

My friend is bringing his '72 Chevy pickup (lifted 3" on 33s)! Not sure if we are taking mine and his or just his yet... if we can swing it, we'll do both, but we'll see.

[SubaCool]

yep, i dont want to burn this bridge.... nor explain why we are so few...
Yeah, no kidding... I've been freezin my nuts off working on the Bug (still workin on it, somebody wanna come give me a hand? :p), let's just say I'm getting it done veeeeRy slowly. Can't find motivation to work on it when I can't feel my fingers and toes, plus I keep needing parts or tools to get it done (the tranny is not a straight swap as I've thought it'd be - different models, one old and one new design). But I'll get it done (and hope it will work). Worst case, I'll just come hang out with the Subie and take it easy-ish :D Can I afford to? Hell no, but sure don't wanna sit on my arse wishing I could have gone :thunb:

Btw, did anybody try inviting members from Rising Sun? If I recall, didn't some join y'all for the Yankee Hill run? Just thinkin... the park is pretty big ;)

[Smash]

Working on getting my friend John to come. Biker friend, aka Outlaw. If his wife Angie has something planned Saturday (he thinks she does) he'll probably come. He's an offroad newbie, only been out once with me and we took it very easy. Nice truck though, manual with low range. I told him there's stuff for everyone out there, I know he'll have a good time. His truck:

Make sure and change your RSVP!

[Roostercruiser]

[Smash]

Awesome, so we'll see you there?

Karla and I are gonna pick up Greenmachine at the meet up spot. :thunb:

Contemplating bringing the dogs, figure if it's just us we can let them off leash? If discussed with the owner of course. Not sure, will probably decide that morning.

[WINKY]

remember kids to have fun!

[Smash]

remember kids to have fun!


??

My dogs do AWESOME with kids, I've used both of them for humane/animal shelter education in public schools in fort collins and loveland.

Is that what you meant?

[scout man]

i would be in, but I have 3 wedding venues to look at with the :princess: saturday. :bang:. Beleive me, I would much rather be wheeling with you guys!

[Smash]

Hey good luck finding the perfect spot!!

[WINKY]

no i meant all of us to have fun! :D

[Chris]

Is someone confirming they'll be opening for sure?

[Smash]

Subacool - do you have good contact info for the owner? Since you got him to open, want to give him a call tomorrow to confirm?

[Roostercruiser]

no i meant all of us to have fun! :D


thanks dad will do:rolleyes:

[SubaCool]

Subacool - do you have good contact info for the owner? Since you got him to open, want to give him a call tomorrow to confirm?
This is how I got hold of him (and how anybody can too): http://www.coloradooffroadextreme.com/forum1/

The post regarding the 12th: http://www.coloradooffroadextreme.com/forum1/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=55 As far as I know, it's on. He's good about updating the website.

[Chris]

I'm guessing Carl Miron is the owner but since I'm not registered I can't contact him. Someone (SubaCool?) who is should confirm. It would be a shame to drive out there and find it closed.

[transplant87]

ok for the idiot(greenmachine) that didnt keep up with the thread wat time is the meet

[Chris]

[Fordguy77]

I'd love to go, but my ranger is stuck in 2wd unless i take off the electric shift motor and shift it by hand. Would there be anything i could do out there in a 1991 Ranger? its all stock with a 4.0l v6 3.73 with a limited slip in the rear.

[Smash]

Bring it! I'm hoping my friend will bring his big heavy duty stock dodge diesel. 4 doors, that's a long wheelbase! Subacool is bringing his beetle dune buggy thing too.

Hey Chris.... High 44....
