Liked the video! Evidence there were more than one turtles playing in the snow. Too bad we didn't travel in a bale.

Lucky this wasn't the situation last Friday! Guess I won't be making the trip south for Sno Drift.

Weather like this is the reason I own my truck. I know I'll make it through anything Old Man Winter blows my way. Yes, it's fun to play in the snow but my daily commute can be quite challenging!

I had to wait 4 hours at the bridge 5 or 6 years ago. I was going to snowdrift on sat but may ski instead Nubs is going to get 5-8" tonight. I did not get to meet you at Snoball it would have been nice to have another Raptor at the rally to hang with.

MTUH3 is going to Sno Drift...I think he's volunteering/working it.

No doubt I'm seconding those thoughts. Without saying "too much" to avoid offending "anyone specific", perhaps the

This is not a race we will stay together as a pack and work as a team to insure everyone makes it to each destination.

wording should be rethought depending on which group your in. Maybe my use of the wording "group" should also be rethought? I was thinking "nest"?

Turtles always finish , it wasn't my first (quote) race (unquote)...

Lol must of been pretty speedy turtles to continuously catch every other group, regardless of the implications that were/are made.


Even though I dislike upsetting anyone (the majority of my past quotes reflect that) I'm sure even the mention of these thoughts "are" stepping on toes, hopefully no one specific enough for anyone to tell online. However, I feel considering these ideas were shared by my "multiple" co-drivers I'm justified to make these comments.

...Sry y'all. Hope I can share my cheerful presence with fellow raptor owners who enjoy my company next year.

Dan, you are welcome in delta next year, just be prepared for mustache rides written on your tailgate.

For the rest of you and your "harmless" teasing, some jokes get old real quick....

It was not a fricken race and Jason told every group not to speed, we really didn't as we take those kinds of instruction to heart.. and our group had a great time and stayed together just fine.

Wilson, the video that dan quoted, where was that, i find it odd that there was no talking....lol

And i want to make it clear that nobody in our group slowed us down or inconvenienced us at any time. People drove how they were comfortable and took care of the guy in front and behind them, hell even our split up yielded a solid team of 5 trucks with a lead, mid, and chase.

Cullen and I had a truly AWESOME time at the event! I did have a mishap breaking a tire loose from the rim once, but Charlie group stepped up and had it changed extremely fast. I barely had time to get out of the bed of the truck when getting the spare out...lol We can't wait to get out there and do it again!

That's because you had Jeff B. in your group. They are a pit crew no doubt. Same thing at Havoc in the hills. I never left the bed of my truck. Lol...

Hear is my take on the signal line it's not a race. Any one out front could drive away from the back of the group. The lead truck breaks and down the line by the time the last truck is threw that spot guess what your a mile out. Then it's catch up if if if if IF the lead dose not wait at stops or confusing intersections. That is a good spot to wait. Playing catch up is where you start pushing your self beyond your comfort level.

This is meant to be good ideas and a thought for the next runs keep it fun and realize.
I had a blast with Delta, but I knew how they ran before so I knew I was in good hands. It's also a trust thing you have to use your own head but you need to have trust in your lead. Thanks again.

Yeti didn't speed either, however some would debate if single digit speeds on graded roads was overly cautious. There were points when Dan caused the chase truck to be over a mile back, which in turn caused the lead truck to stop and regroup all weekend. I'm all for "staying together as a group", but if you really want to drive "that" much slower than the rest of your group, you should think about how it effects others experiences and seek a solution as to minimize your effect.
