Man, that sucks finding this out on an open jeep forum. :sigh:

I heard from an unnamed source that it had to do with knot tying skills...or lack thereof.

Could be. I was working on reading emails from a small company named Sony and just came across a shop call Offroad Revelations or something like that. Saw that same name, , as what's written above.

Damn, this is not the news I was expecting to get on Christmas Eve.....

I wasted $37.99 at REI on "The Essential Knots For Any Situation" book, it even came with a piece of rope to practice with.

With receiving bad news like that.... hope that the piece of rope isn't long enough to hang yourself in your state of depression...:cheesy:

1) How is your beard? I am hoping EPIC!

Well, sadly I am not rocking a beard on this trip. Unfortunately the site that I am working at I needed to fit a certain "profile" this time around, so clean shaven it is.

2) Are you going to recognize Mel?

Oh yeah, I immediately noticed his weight loss back when we raced the Vegas 2 Reno BITD race and he was pretty damn trim then. I have been following him on Facebook, plus some iMessaging back and forth since I have been overseas, so I have been keeping up with his progress. I am really proud of his accomplishment and super happy for him :rock:

Well KOH is about a month away and I'm now getting details hammered out for going. The plan is Thursday-Saturday.

Who else is going ?

Anyone leaving from Orange County area on Thursday ?

I haven't ever been so i will be hoping to tag along with some other Wayalife peeps that know their way around.

Is tent camping a good idea or is it too cold?

I will be there racing.

Tent camping is doable. Dealing with the cold really depends on how good of a sleeping bag you have. I have a 0 degree mummy bag and I'm fine. It's the wind you have to worry about in a tent. Couple years have been pretty bad.

I am with this guy ^

Does anyone know a GPS coordinate or something for where Evo/wayalifers will be setting up? I'd love to be able to hang out with familiar faces an get the whole experience out of the trip.

Well, it's not so much a coordinate, but more of ORE/EVO will be in the pits within Hammer Town. Unfortunately for those that want to co-locate with us for lodging/camping, it really isn't possible since the Team is camping in a seperate, and closed off, area for the race teams.

However, you can wander thru the pit areas throughout the race week (I think?) and visit with all of us while we are busy prepping and working on the race cars and race utv's.

I was just messaging with Mel on Facebook and he was giving me the updates for us...... So basically you're saying we all have a chance ;)


Also, guess who is now part of the Nitto sponsorhip team? Campbell Racing & Fabrication, that's right, Shannon Campbell is running Nitto's now!
