No, I dont want to step on Petes toes. I know he has alot invested in his weekend, and I am looking forward to meeting him.

But, for anyone that has two weekends available, this has all the makings of a REAL good show.

I'm not gonna call the little PSD meet our October GTG really. It's more of a you guys can come if you want to no biggie if you don't cause it's gonna happen one way or the other. Got people with flights reserved and vacations planned so it's happening the 17th-18th no matter what.

And Ray don't worry about stepping on my toes. I wear steel toed boots. Takes a lot more than asking if people want to go to a hill climb to bug me.

have fun at the hill climbs, guys. I'd be there if I didn't have work.

If you check out the CT chapter map its the 'May '09 GTG' icon at the bottom of the list.

Here is a link to their website:

There are lots of families and kids there. Plenty of fencing to keep people safe and out of places they don't belong. As long as they don't mind the noise then bring your boys along. If I thought my daughter would sit still long enough I would bring her (but she wouldn't). There is no seating to speak of so bring blankets or chairs. You can bring your own food, or they also sell hot dog, burgers, etc. The pits are also open to the public if you want to walk up the hill and that's always fun.

Once I close on my house in another week and a half.

Then I'll try to up my credit card limit which got reduced like most everyone else.

And finally order: ARB lockers front & rear, Yukon 5.13 R&P, & Yukon 35-spline rear axles.

Maybe by next year with my lockers and 35.4" M+S tires I might make it up that hill.

Provided of course that I was the first one to have a go of it, and thus the hill is still a tad firm to drive on.

Certainly would be a slow climb, but just making it would be satisfying.
