2011 US RaptorSource tour

[Hefe]

that is already in the works

[#X-RIDER#]

Don't forget an extra gut fellas! On a 2 week venture your surely going to completely bust at least one beyond repair!!!

I would say. shoot for fall or spring. Best chances to get decent weather where-ever you go.

When I moved back to Mn from CA I had my own little tour, All were on the main freeways on my way as well.  1st stop was Dumont (awesome), 2nd Nellis dunes (sucked), 3rd little sahara UT (ok) but was snowy lol, 4th Killpecker Wy . 

On any tour  I know Dumont and Glamis are "must go" places, dumont has some very steep hills and glamis is just the al'mighty of dunes.

Ocotillo wells is good, Pismo is a bit small, but it's on the beach so that's cool.

I would love to make this trip.

a "must" for me is Oregon......gotta meet up with our left coast crew.  Sub454, RaptorRandy, Grant, Etc.

Oregon really needs to be in there, so Im thinking fall is going to be best for all. Even if we go to Pennsylvania, still needs to be in fall. Once it starts snowing in the upper states, it keeps going. I've seen it snow as late as June before. We need to make a final decision on which 10 or so places to go and then the route we are going to take.
My rig setup is going to be around $10g for permits and such, before fuel. Let me do some checking and see what I can do about that before anybody gets excited. The cost effect on it is almost not worth it, because there still needs to be a way to haul 25ish people. A bus rental is going to be around 2500/week times 2 at minimum before fuel. Lots to think about. Convoy might be better.

Dunes/trails whatever as long as it has a reputation. Need major sponsors. Also need a couple of good writers in our group to send articles to the magazines and get them to publish our stories and write ups. Press releases are going to need to be sent out to some of the local papers, things like this might get us in the gates for free.... maybe even some free catering.

I AM IN put me down on the list... hell it was my idea anyways so I better f'n go.

Fees are next to nothing three bucks a day and you need spark arrestors. Hours, HA, what are those!

very nice. Put this on the list. that power slide pic is bad ass

[Hefe]

for all it will cost in fees my Hauler (with some creativity) should easily haul 14 or so
hell we could probably even do better than that
little bit of steel and a day of welding, I could add another rack to hold a couple more
it has a newer 454 FI motor, so it won't matter how many little quads are on it
won't slow it down a bit!
