Let's see what everyone is doing to their buggies this winter.
I'm starting to rebuild my front end.
I'm using Nick Mailloux's stuff. Here is my first box of goodies.

I didn't ride much this year either. My wife said why are you putting 3K more in it and only rode 3 times this year. I told her because I'm going to 6 times next year..lol

What are your thoughts? Anyone of our normal spots would be fine.

- WindRock
- Rush
- Haran County
- LBL (a long drive but we could try something different)

Any other places we should consider?

Are we having a hill climb series, if so, what approximate dates. LBL sounds good for a long weekend.

I do not think so. I think I would rather just go riding. It is too much work to put on an event and have 10 people show up.

Yea, hillclimbs arent what they used to be. I always enjoyed them but would rather just get a big ride together, although the bragging rights event me and jesse did several years ago in fultondale was a blast

Just riding sounds good, since I don't climb.
