Parker 400 - Poker run? 1 lap!

[Outdrive1]

Is everyone backing out of this thing? I thought we had a whole crew! I could probably go get crit stickers for people before the run.

I paid so I’m in???

Ok. I’m going to pay too then.

Welcome to Havasu.

Not many people here have it in them to do this thing.

That’s a fact. 95% of sxs owners don’t venture more than 40 mile rides

$80k SXS all the best of the best. To the cabin and back for some instagram shots then home to have it detailed.

Those that have $80k in them are too scared to use them in most cases.

I disagree. I have less than half of that into ours and I don’t detail it.

That one in back was detailed. I ate dinner off it.

 

[MeCasa16]

Paid Now I just have to set up one of those silly pumpers so I can breathe with that silly helmet on. So far it’s only a confirmed RDP team of 2

Let me see if I can actually make this. I’ve got a ride planned for the next weekend.

I don’t have much in ours like you Don but I got a great detail gal. Just reach out to her any time that you need to. She can’t stand the SxS being dirty. LOL

We tried the Sidewall Slug a month ago. I think it would also work to get you home, it is kinda hokey, but better than nothing.

View attachment 1314313

You might think this is a viable repair option for a damaged tire, but digging a little deeper into the required parts list for its use exposes a fatal flaw:

The Sidewall Slug is for a Sidewall Tear up to 1.5 inches.

This is for emergency use only. Once installed properly you will be able to continue driving your off road vehicle back to your starting point.

You will need a 10mm wrench and a set of Pliers.

You will need a portable 12v air compressor or CO2 tire cartridges or tank.

Everyone knows that 10 mm wrenches don't exist. Some speculate they were all lost during Apollo moon missions.

Didn't an old school drag racer drill a hole in front of helmet so he smoke while driving, that would save all the stops except the breakdown one.

IndyCar racer Gary Bettenhausen, taken just prior to the start of the 1992 Indy 500. Gary always had one lit. He was a really nice guy.

KUSTOM!

This is an example of a properly equiped RDP poker run contestant, headed out for a two hour drive...

 

[MeCasa16]

I think I got a couple more cars to join…

 

[Sportin' Wood]

I am pretty sure I am in; I have not paid yet; however, gotta drive 1200 miles and 18 hours to get there. Is there a list going and a proposed start time?

The weather looks favorable for the drive south from Montana.

Edit: CRIT sticker purchase location at the Casino or elsewhere?

Crit sticker is behind the Chevy dealership on the East end of town.

This place, I assume? Hours are going to be a challenge. It looks like you need Proof of ownership as well, so buying multiple passes might be an issue.

I'm guessing it's closed on Monday for the holiday; this little Poker Run is getting complicated.

Maybe with the flaming hoops to participate, the traffic will be light.

Has anyone ever used these? They have them on the shelf at the ranch supply place down the street here in MT. Seems like cheap insurance. I usually throw plugs at a sidewall with limited success.

Just ordered it. Looks promising.

I'm pretty sure I will do it, what time is the estimated leave time from Blue Water?

 

[Willie B]

… pre-ran half of the Parker 400 in the late 70s in a friend of mine’s 57 Volkswagen convertible Baja… I did fine till I got in a sand wash, and suddenly realized there was a reason all my racing had been in a straight line

Hmmm, at first I didn’t see where I needed documentation to prove ownership, but I found this article that said these guys needed to do just that… Might toss a wrench in my plans to get a sticker for my friends.

DESTINATION | Big CRIT, Little Worries - UTV Sports

The Colorado River Indian Tribe consists of four different tribes. They are the Chemehuevi, Hopi, Navajo, and Mojave. The reservation was established in 1865 and encompasses almost 300,000 acres. There are hundreds of miles of trails to explore on the CRIT reservation. However, permits are...

I’m not drinking on the ride but if I did don’t worry about it.. we will be waiting on you not the other way around. lol.

Guess you will be waiting………. All day.

 

[RiverDave]

So NOW a poker run has become a race.

Good times!

My money is on RD. He's had enough seat time to get done what needs to be done, without breaking anything me thinks.

Who's taking the bets?

This didn’t age well.. lol

 

[rivermobster]

This didn’t age well.. lol

Sad but true...

 

[Outdrive1]

You can ride with me RD

 

[Sportin' Wood]

I'm out. All my regular riding partners have other plans, so I'm going to do something else. The CRIT pass was the deal breaker; I was not interested enough to jump through the hoops to buy one. Being a first-year event, I'm going to wait for the trip reports. Hopefully, I will miss a fantastic time.

 

[Outdrive1]

I’d like to figure out where and what time to meet Saturday.

 

[MeCasa16]

I’m still in. I have another car coming with me too. I just got into havasu tonight. Gives me time to get the pumper installed in my car, and get down to buy the crit permit. Just tell me when and where to meet.

 

[Outdrive1]

Looks like the BlueWater at 9. Maybe 8 is a good time?

I was gonna make it, daughter wants to snowboard, so Flagstaff it is. Have fun and go fast!

 

[dezertrider]

I get the Bronco back today so I am ready for Saturday. I may have an extra seat or two depending on if the wife goes

I got that too. I have absolutely no clue how long the gas in the Maverick R lasts. I guess I’ll just email for fuel and see what happens. I’m probably not going to be able to use all the fuel I order.

Bring a gas jug and run it until you find out

I like a little risk… Keeps things exciting.

 

[dezertrider]

You stop at Midway twice so you actually have two chances to fuel up.

Got the crit sticker, getting all loaded up.
Where is the best place to unload? At the blue water or do we go somewhere else and drive to the blue water?

I see they dropped the map file tonight. I’ll plan to be at the blue water a little before 8 to register? We have a razor and my R going.
How many other people confirmed other than @dezertrider and @Outdrive1 ? Is there a plan to meet before?

Made it, I feel under the weather but I’m gonna go until I can’t! Lol

Hope I don’t get nerfed today.

First two cars finished. There was a rzr they said came in before us but he wasn’t on the trail. We saw no one and had to open the gates on the back side

Love the look of the krx 4seaters if that car was out when I bought my turbo S it’s what I’d be driving. Don’t care about the power it’s just a great solid platform and I didn’t want the extra cost of the turbo but wanted the fox live valve suspension. only way to get that in the RZR was with turbo.
