Raptor Devil Run (AFTERMATH)

[Gumby]

Time to start planning the fall run

I am my worse critic. Did we have fun. Yes. Hell yes. There are things That need improvement? For sure!!!!! We went longer than I wanted. I know people Drove a long way and had long drives home. I am glad for the turnout we had on a short notice. Was super happy to have the "FRF Celebrities" @MurderedOutSVT @CigarPundit !!!!! @dj30417 for traveling the the furthest.
If we do a fall/another trip timing will need improved. For sure! Along with a few other things.
To the guys/gals that came, Don"t be afraid to throw so criticism my way. All in All a great trip!!! For sure. We will do another one for sure.

No criticism from my pov. As far as I know, nobody broke anything on their truck and only one injury but nothing that could have been prevented by the organizers. We put about 850 miles into this trip in less than 24 hours on two retired rode hard and put up wet human bodies and Miss Big Booty rolled 189,000 on the trail. I would definitely do it again!

I'll go first, and I don't know the Dirt Devil well enough to even know if this is feasible, but for me the best part of the run itself was the water crossings and the little technical section at the end. I'd like to see more of that (more "no Prius zone," as @Bozz put it).

The creek crossings are the best. and Mother Nature wasn't kind to us. A lot of them were really low to boot. but actively looking to improve the map for sure.
That area got Pounded with rain last night. Figures, LOL

Easy for me to say, but yeah, the injuries were worth it. I'm kicking myself for not taking a flex shot. I was having too much fun.

Need to save this Pic for the next person who ask about 37. YES!!!!! ladies and gentlemen that is a TUCKED 37

I expected to be sore today in my lower back and pelvis but to my delight those areas are not any worse than usual. However, my face and jaws are so sore I might have to blend my food. All from smiling and laughing. Can’t complain about that either though.

Just with these remember there is room for user error. They are not needed. Thinking of taking mine off. @Bozz let to much once out of one of my tires. @mwaite09 did the same to one of his. had to get the pump out and refill. once is a coincidence. twice might be a problem. 3 times fix it it is going to be a problem. Not that big of a deal to get the pump out for me. but some it might be a problem.
The safelife seem to be great. The error occurs when you don't seat the quick connect properly. the air comes around the quick connect and the pressure goes below the set amount. so.....one more time for me and I will remove the quick Connect portion they are not really needed.

I have found that the secret is too make sure you have the quick connect pushed as far as possible onto the valve stem before releasing the quick connect lever. Then wait a second to see if you hear any air escaping before pulling the plunger.
