You'd better go ahead and get it on the ORV park calendar so we don't lose that weekend.

[99ARTaco]

Where do I sign up?? :D Let me know what I can do to help get this thing off the ground. Maybe we should have a planning meeting sometime soon? I was told that Josh and Lance will be heading up this way in March to wheel at Disney with Wadeunderwater, sounds like a good time to have a planning meeting. :D

can we work out some deal so we can have registration set up ?? kinda like the RLC did for the Ramble in June ??


Sure, how do you want to do it? They handle all of theirs online, and someone collects via mail. They then cut me a check the weekend of.

I can also do online registration so everyone can pay via paypal.

Unless you are going to do T-shirts or have over 100 rigs show up it is just as easy for me to just handle everything in the office the day of.

Just let me know how you want to do it.

-BJ


OK so BJ, Lance, Paul, Josh, what and how do we want to do??

I for one want Tshirts, and Rolands BBQ, i would really want them to bring the trailer out and cook on site this year which requires a headcount of 75 people, we were really close to that last year

Let me think on it for a few days. We got 9 months. :) I don't want to create more work than we can handle at this point. T-shirts, BBQ, and pre-registration are good ideas, but I don't want to be a event-nazi about it and give people reasons not to come. I kinda liked the openness of it and I think that's what made it a success. We do need a way to get an accurate head count.

[ArkieTaco]

I'm in! Let me know what I can do. As for the get together (Disney) let's get a set date so some of us can plan ahead.

[andrewmch]

Hey im a Hankerin for an outting.... Id like a february run but it could be later.... My B day is the 17th and thats on the 3rd sunday so..... Somebody set a date so we all can set a schedule....

Josh you're absolutely right, we don't want to create more work for us then we can handle. Lets keep it simple and fun. Do the raffle thing again, T-shirts, and a dinner.

Glen,

Do you have any local friends that are in a band and might want to play some music at our dinner banquet? :xrocker: :xrocker: :xozzy: :xozzy: :camping: :xbeer3: :xbeer1:

Really? My b-day is the 17th as well. :D :D I'll probably be wheeling at Hot Springs that Saturday the 16th, but nothing is set in stone yet.

Josh you're absolutely right, we don't want to create more work for us then we can handle. Lets keep it simple and fun. Do the raffle thing again, T-shirts, and a dinner. right, i dont want things to get complicated, but how much will tshirts cost?? and the meal is roughly $10 a head

Subject: Arkansas bands for a gig in September
Body: Yep, this year the Arkansas Toyota Territory Offroad Association Ar-ttora.com, wishes to have a local band play at our BBQ dinner during our offroading event at the Superlift Offroad Park in Hotsprings Arkansas.

This event will be September 19th thru the 21st, with the dinner and music to be held on Saturday the 20th. We would like to have either Country or Southern Rock,
Rap musicians will be TARRED AND FEATHERED http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd137/79coyotefrg/smilies/rofl2.gif

so if anyone knows of a band that fits please contact me or sign up and post here http://www.ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=92109

i have a thread on Arkansas crawlers, looks like a good idea http://arkansascrawlers.com/main/forum/showthread.php?p=27018#post27018

[MrsWillyMammoth]

Just my humble opinion..between the choices of country or southern rock, I think southern rock would be a more all around choice. There are a lot of people that are not fond of country and people that are not fond of rock but southern rock seems to bridge that gap.

I am penciling this in on our calender. We will have to plan a long weekend.

I was looking through the SuperLift Park Events Calendar ... planning some weekend yard passes for the summer. I did not see the ArTTORA event that is scheduled for Sept. 19 - 21. Two questions:
1. What has to be done to get on the list w/ BJ? I'm sure that I am not the only guy doing some seasonal planning this time of year...
2. Is there a pre-registration procedure in place?

Don't know about the rest of you folks, but I'll be glad when it slows down on the raining...let some trails dry out a little.

glen, is there anything i can do to help the event? shoot me a pm or email, id be happy to talk with sponsors, pickup the tail on trail runs, or anything else that needs some help.

if anybody knows someone that might donate an aftermarket part, for the raffle

[Brenjen]

Just pour syrup on me 'cause I'm still waffling. If I did go this would be my first ever organized trail ride of any kind; I'm not used to paying entrance fees & buying tickets etc. If someone could lay out an A: - B: - C: of how this is supposed to wring out for newcomers/non-superlift park members, I'd appreciate it. I see where the park price would be $50 for someone like me; apparently I'd get wrangled into a membership I'd never use again.

I know a couple bands, one bluegrass & one country/southern rock but they're both semi-proffesional & get paid to play & I'm not in daily contact with them so I'd have to make a couple phone calls to reach anyone.

A: Oh, I think you'll use the membership again once you go. You be hooked. ;)

B: As for the fees, you will be getting the one year membership, 3 days of wheeling, and probably camping fees for $50. The yearly fee alone costs $50, and that doesn't cover the daily fees. If you wanted the same weekend, it would cost you 50+(12.50x3)+(5x3)=$102.50. We'll probably add another small fee ($10-$15) that will cover your Saturday BBQ dinner, and a t-shirt. So it will probably be $65 for non-members (but this gets you a one year membership) and $40 for park members (who already have the $50 one year membership). None of this is set in stone yet, so don't quote me on it.

C: Raffle tickets are optional, but we hope that everyone buys at least 5 or so (at $1 each). We've got some great prizes coming and already lined up.

As the time gets closer, we'll layout more official plans. Stay tuned. :kewl:

[Brenjen]

That gives me a better ball park figure, $65 + or - & raffle tickets. Plus fuel,food,beer,damage,bribe for the wife....I'll be looking at a $300 weekend minimum; $500 if the wife is really pissed.

[79coyotefrg]

local motels are very reasonable if you get the ones close to the park

the entire weekend fee's for the park will cost you $50, this includes a $75 value (normally, $50 for 2 days, this gives you 3 days PLUS a $25 membership to the park )

i think the entire weekend including camping (tent) would cost $100,+/- that includes raffle tickets

if you want a tshirt we will need a "pre order" thing and have them at the office with the persons name

[79coyotefrg]

unlike other events i like the openness of our event in as such we dont expect EVERYONE to pay the same amount,
sometimes people cant get off the entire weekend and can only make saturday, so if they prefer they can pre order their tshirt pay the standard $25 day fee (assuming they are already a park member) and just stay and wheel theone day



i will say this

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS EVENT WILL GO TO TRAIL MAINTAINANCE PROGRAMS AROUND OUR STATE

I have a similar setup, except I do have some armor, and I can do a few 4's. If you are willing to get some custom pin striping, you'll have more than enough fun : )

The tires I have are Kumho Road Ventures:

They've handled almost everything I've given em.

I do want some sliders however. :)

[Arky Tacoma]

The good thing is, there are trails for everyone. Your best bet w/o sliders will probably be to stay on the 2's and be careful on any 3's.

FYI-Once upon a time I was concerned about pin striping and such, but that first dent was all it took...:D

Memphis? Cool your not to far from me and Oldtruck. So do ya know any other toyota guys from up there?
I have met and wheeled with John, and James from AlpineAuto, and Cory a friend of theirs gets it pretty hard core as well. They all rock the buggys though, some of their other friends had full body rigs. I couldn't hang with those guys.

[wadeunderwater]

I googled a map from BV to Hot Springs. Is this the best route? It looks kinda round about to go throught Little Rock? I'd really like to make it to this just have to see how the $numbers$ flip. Josh/Lance, how did you guys come up when Brent bought my fj40?

I refuse to go through Little Rock to get to Hot Springs. It's about the same amount of time as any other route, but it's a whole lot more miles. Plus my 4runner always got terrible mileage on the interstate. I always go down 71 to Y-City and take 270 east to Hot Springs. Or sometimes I-40 to Russelville and south on 7 (but it's a pretty windy road).

i totally agree, i would come down 71 to Y city and into HS on 270, interstate all the way is crazy

[YotaJosh]

We came I40 to I540, but we were coming from LR. There isn't a good back way that heads West from here, so the Interstate was the best bet.

The 71/270 route is probably your best bet, but if you wanted to, you could take I40 to Russellville and take Hwy 7 to HS.

According to Google Maps:
All Interstate: 270 Miles, 4:18:00
71/270: 221 Miles, 4:18:00
I40/7: 224 Miles, 4:27:00

Thanks for the advice. I am hoping the wife and kids want to come along for this one if I can budget for it and hopefully we can see a few things down in that area while we are down there. I haven't been south of Devil's Den State Park (West Fork) since we've lived here. Is there any points of interest that my wife/kids might enjoy in this area beside the spa's; zoo's, museums, etc? It might be easier to sell her on this if it's more that just driving around in the dirt (as she calls it). :rolleyes: She wheeled my tacoma for 4 hours at Flat Nasty last year and still calls it Driving around in the dirt. She even did the rock garden sliders the whole way! I was hoping to get her hooked so I could say "WE need lockers, WE need a winch, WE need..." you get the point. :D Anyway, I'll se what I can do.

[YotaJosh]

Send'em to Magic Springs. :)

There's plenty of other things to do in Hot Springs, too.

[domino]

Magic Springs is a pretty good place to go. I always liked the Mid-America Science Museum. It's a great place to take the kids if they're old enough. There's the Hot Springs Mountain Tower... There's tons more stuff, but those are all pretty good places to go if you have time.

[YotaJosh]

Mid-America is a cool place. The awesome "Our Body" exhibit will still be going in Sept.

http://www.midamericamuseum.org/ourbody/

[wadeunderwater]

SOLD! I will use the Science Museum as my main sell point to convince Trish that we are mainly going down there to take the kids to the museum but we can stop by Superlift for 3 days in between. :D I've got a 50/50 shot she will go for it. I will wait till this "week" is over before I bring it up though. ;) :wife: Thanks guys.

[Arky Tacoma]

Magic Springs is cool and all, but its way overpriced! I wouldn't even want to think about paying admission for 4.

[ArkieTaco]

I'll be there :D

i just went back and according to my poll, which isnt very acurate at all, we had 54 people and 27 trucks, but i KNOW we had more than that, because the White FJ80 wasnt included in the poll, and Kat wasnt in the poll,

i remember at one point BJ telling me he counted just under 75, i remember that because Rolands said they would come out and cater if we had at least 75 people

[extremetoy2000]

can we count fat people at 2? :D

You wouldn't happen to know a guy with a 40th anniv. 80, and a white, built 80 would you? They said they were from Memphis. I can't remember their names, but they came last year, and I enjoyed meeting them.

This is the white 80:

my sister and Mom were in LOVE with that FJ80

[Arky Tacoma]

I didn't get their last names, but I remember their first names. Kevin was the owner of the 80 from Memphis. His buddies were Al also from Memphis, and I believe the big guy's name was Derrick, from Hot Springs. Super cool guys, hopefully, they'll make the trip over again this year.

[fulleroffroad1]

I can't wait till september. me n my girlfriend have been talkin bout it every day! what is the cost again for the whole weekend? was it $50.00?

[bomar]

Don't know either of those 2 80's.

I run around with Brown 60, White 62, and Green Built 80.

Meet all these guys on i8hmud.

I look forward to meeting some new guys to ride with. Since my wife and I are going to be spending alot of time in AR for the next years.

[OldTruck]

Since the shirt design discussion is close to winding down ... where is the event at on a registration form? Or a final registration cost (park, event, meal, shirt?)?

How much is the event gonna' cost? And what does that buy me?

I did not get to attend last year, did ya'll pre-register or just make your X mark when you got there? Is there a plan to have extra shirts for those "walk-up" people that didn't get the news on shirt pre-pay's?

[domino]

I think the current estimate is $50 for admission to the park. Then another $15 or so to cover dinner on saturday and a t-shirt. The only definite number is the park admission, I believe. Still waiting to find out how much the rest will cost.


BTW, did we decide if the park fees included camping?

I have the programming done for the reg. form, but can't make it live yet because our site (ar-ttora.com) is suspended at the moment. That's a separate issue that's being looked into.

I think the only thing that's set is $50 gets you into the park. Tshirt and meal fees will probably be separate.

Last year, it was pretty open. We didn't charge fees, and had no registration. We didn't have Tshirts, either. Glen had a thread for people to sign up on, but that was really it.

So far, that's sounding close to right. The Tshirt/dinner fee may jump a bit.

I'll check to see if the fees include camping. If not, it's $5 a night per site.

[79coyotefrg]

i think to be safe we will post the fee's at $75
this will include park fee's for all 3 days, park membership for 1 year, the meal, shirt,

[79coyotefrg]

i think we need to print some flyers to put on trucks we see around that might be interested aka got mud on them ???

I got on the ball moving all my stuff out of the shop when i found my house sold, and just plain forgot. Now all my tools are th a buddies and his shop is a mess with pices of his old 4rnr soon to be buggy, there just isnt room to work on my junk there. I WILL MAKE IT RIGHT! Let me get in my ew house....the shop will be completed within 2 months after we move in, so mabye I can have tube doors to ya before christmas. Shipping will have to be on me since I suck! :(

I've also got bad news. I failed to realize I have a school thing that weekend, and it ends at around noon on Saturday. I was planning to come to Hot Springs on Thursday evening, have a wrench fest and see what happens come Friday, but now it looks like I might have to have a wrenchfest Saturday after the raffle. I'd do it this weekend but I've committed to a wedding. Hopefully I can get out of that.

Why does this kinda crap always happen :mad:

Sorry fellas, but I just don't think this is going to happen while keeping my sanity and obligations. I was really looking forward to this, and I'm sorry I let ya'll down. Hopefully we can get another New Year's run together that I can bring my junk to.

for you guys it would be a quicker route to come down to FTsmith on 540 all the way to the south side and grab hwy 71 south to Y city, then hwy 270 into hotsprings, take 270 bypass to east side then go back towards town get on service road befor at the "magic springs" exit

hwy 7 from Russelville to Hotsprings is one crooked mother

[wadeunderwater]

Thanks I will check into that.

hwy 270 is a major truck route, and besides a couple places you can make good time
