welcome to the forum! We will be meeting in Delta Park at the entrance to PIR raceway. There is a little parking lot there. Meet there at 7:30am. Browns Camp isn't far from Portland and if you want to go I would highly suggest meeting up with us and convoying over, plus its more fun that way. If you come on the run be sure to be gassed up and ready to go when you meet us at PIR because there will be no stops till TSF, plus if you plan on eating with us at lunch just grab something we can all partake in because its a potluck style lunch! Hope to see ya there!

Noobfest was a HIT! we had 34 rigs total. Talk about XJ's in the woods, my gosh! We all had a great time and the noobs learned a few things I'm sure. Even had a catastrophic part failure to teach trail improvising with what tools and parts you have, even if you have to remove exhaust clamps to hold your suspension together, pics on that later ;D Long but good day in the woods, and since I just got home I will spare the details till tomorrow as well as the pics and vids. A big thanks to Dustin for taking this thing on and for Naxja.....good people!

Thanks to everyone who made it out today. I'm still trying to process the amount of rigs we had turnout for this today, unbelievable. I'll have a report up later.

Nice report Joey! Here's a few pics my dad managed to grab. Driver meeting. He grew a little bit. My group's first trail of the day was Hoodraiser. It was an easy trail to get everyone's feet wet. After that we continued up the hill to Hogsback. Seth's rig was an absolute mountain goat the entire day. I think he had a cleaner run up it than I did. Just before the second section gatekeeper. Quick break after Hogsback. We took the bypass around Rocky Uphill, which actually turned into an obstacle by itself. Thanks to those who helped everyone down the tricky spots. We then continued on to a few sections of Archers. One of the guys unfortunately had some catastrophic carnage. His y-link ripped itself from the cross member. Thanks to some creative wheeler ingenuity we got a nice trail fix put together, and he was able to limp it all the way to the highway. After our group lunch started to get rained out, our group headed for Cedar Tree. The first section was ran during thunder and lightning, kinda eery. Last trail of the day was FB5, which only a few of us made due to the recent rain and conditions. I think the term slick would be an understatement. Thanks to everyone who made it out. It was definitely a trip for the record books.
