A liberty should be alright, but I don't know how bigass your bigass van is.

Yea, I know, but I just spent $200 on it, and last time we were up there, we were bottoming out in the Liberty, and my car is quite a bit lower. That may have been on the driveway to my dad's buddy's place though, I can't remember.

Very good point, not sure my car would be able to even turn around. It does turn a tad sharper than my dad's pickup, but that has the ground clearance to hang over bushes. I know for a fact the van wouldn't (15 passenger E-350), the Liberty was perfect last time we were up there.

Last time we were up there, some tool in a 928 was driving at about 10mph through the woods, and finally lost control and drove straight into a ditch right in front of us.

My favorite spots to spectate are Asaph (haha, I drew my first 3D drawing of Asaph) and West Rim. West Rim is the one where the Hankook car almost rolled a year or two ago. Twelve Mile is a good one too. All time best was the "Subaru Splash" but oh well.

I'm thinking the family can't come, my dad doesn't want to spend the cash.

I too am waiting for the program. There's plenty of time to watch the first couple of cars head out and still make it to the spectator points with plenty of time.

You guys bringing folding chairs? I'd highly recommend it, unless you're just gonna watch the first 20 some cars go through.

Ok so I wasted some time this afternoon studying the stage and transit mileage chart and came up with the stage routes. Just remember... always spectate from a designated area ;)

I'll be leaving tonight after work, driving to Bangor to pick up a couple friends and sleep, and then to Wellsboro in the morning. I'll see you tomorrow night, maybe. I'll be hanging around somewhere... if you see my car, feel free to say hey.

absolutsnwbrdr · 06-05-2009, 10:03 AM

hey slow spool... have you been to the fairgrounds yet? can you tell if they're actually going to have a jump this year? I heard rumors! Last years "jump" was a joke... more like a speed bump!

i went up there last night, but it was gated off and i just went up to see who all had their cars up there, so i didnt get to see the track.

im also really hoping for a bigger jump, and possibly some longer straight aways for the cars to get more speed.

Ars0nist · 06-05-2009, 04:03 PM

Got here around 1:30 to walk around the fairground and check out some cars and meet the drivers. Watched the cars leave to start stage 1. The jump looks like a big speed pump so I guess it's an improvement over last year. I am driving around now to look at the spectator spots for tomorrow. Anyone have any recomendations?

I've got a ton of videos, merging and uploading to youtube shortly. I also have some pics of the Audi sweep car, rofl. Blame my bro for the video and pics, not my fault they're not spectacular.

edit: and they're uploaded (might not be done processing)
