I thought of starting a security company. Patrol the grounds keep the punks out. Hire 10 or 15 guys, 24 hr roveing patrols. Must have operable buggy as a condition of employment. Got to have something to patrol in. 8)

Mike, if you are serious and dave does not sell out, this may be an idea. I have some cash saved up, we could do something. I honestly think we could make out on this and in the other respect make some secured riding ground.....

I once had the Alabama State Forestry cheese to please himself call me about 10 years ago. I wrote to him and said,"Of all these off road vehicles running rampid thru out the state, why don't the state set aside some land to concentrate all the errossion and tresspassing.I recruited a local rock crawler influential guy for his endorsement to the commissioner and believe it or not , he sold me out.I got a call from the Forestry Commissioner and he said the rock crawler guy told him that buggies propel themselves by ripping up dirt. So the commissioner had an atv only park opened up in the Bankhead National Forrest.

I've been monitoring the Wellsville chatter even though I took the last 6 or 7 months off the buggy builds. The job getting renewed has me working every weekend indefinitely so it killed my enthusiasm.

My divorce gets finalized tomorrow & I got my half acre back as well as my car trailer & if all goes as planned my purple buggy may find it's way home. If that happens I may toss the Stalker together for a few rides next season. I just hope there will still be a place to ride.

Haspin is devoid of hills unless something drastically changed since I was there 6 years ago. If even part of Wellsville is accessable I say we cut new hills. Last I heard Hillsville is cracking down hard because someone got hurt.

Gas prices are climbing fast & my dually gets 9 mpg so I need to see if my Pinto is capable of dragging my rail. I used my Grand National to haul the buggy/trailer to Silver Lake years ago & got 17 mpg but that car is out of commission. I need a plan for next season if I'm gonna get out at all.


Blame that on Plumber Bill.. :lol: J/K...They try and crack down on ppl parking wherever they damn well please....
