Pirate Cove Resort OHV Poker Run, January 27, 2018

[throttle]

I think the date might have just recently been released for this. I signed up. Anyone else in for this one?

 

[Bpracing1127]

We want to but wearing helmets sucks!

 

[glamis0812]

The wife and I signed up with our cars, we plan on doing a lot of riding this coming winter

I agree, there are so many places to ride in AZ. I was kinda thinking about the experience tho, I have not done much in that area with my rzr. It's a long way out on the calendar, but I thought it was a limited number of participants too. I figured register now and figure it out later.

We did the run last year and had a good time. Originally we did the run last year because we all wanted to see what type of off roading is out there. We figured this was a good opportunity to follow a course and check it all out. As it turns out, there is some good stuff! We had a blast last year and looking forward to do the run this year.

It wasnt to bad of a day last year. We were driving by 8:00 a.m. from what I remember. And we were back in time for lunch around 2:00 ish... Not sure if they are going to increase the loop or not this year. My group was broken from a rough night prior.

Drivers meeting at 8ish and finished by 3 in my Jeep last year. I know myself, TPC, and a few others have camp sites (beach side) so you are welcome to chill with us before heading back to Havasu.

Yep. Should be plenty of staging room around our sites.

[Hallett285]

It's sold out if you haven't signed up yet..

 

[Havaduner]

We are signed up. A few of thought about making a marathon out of it and driving RZRs from Havasu Landing to the Pirate, running the poker run then back to the Landing, but the 8am start time scared a few off. We'll trailer in and out on Saturday. Looking forward to this.

I just heard that.. Pretty impressive!

That said I think we will roll out and hang with TPC if the invite is still open. We might tag along on the run or be a card stop (4 or 5 though.. Fuck being # 1 again that was nuts)

This reminds me, I need to ping RD next week and see if we can get all the RDP?ers camping on the Peninsula that weekend into the same area. I think TPC is at 2 and I at 6.

 

[kiethco]

We signed up, no helmets needed, lol.

 

[throttle]

at what point does the pirate send an email confirmation? anyone get anything after registering?

All I got was an order receipt for the run.

 

[throttle]

in preparation for this, I am going to try to get some suspension tuning done. What type of terrain did you guys encounter last year on this run?

You can camp on any BLM land and drive your toy over to Pirates.

Found this online for those registered.

 

[Meaney77]

I just pull the plug on this event this year. Kinda bummed but we have been on the go alot lately with other trips and need some downtime at home to catch up on a few things. Not to mention my wallet could use a little break!!

Looking forward to pix and how this years events go.

It’s mostly hardpack some sand, the razorbump and washboards are gnarly these days out there. I’d set up soft even tho there’s a bit of G-outs just plan to roll those easy.

Needles desert i set real soft in my car but run a higher tire pressure then normal (28 vs 18-20)

X2... I run 20 lbs in my tires and it helps.

We camped at Pirates over New Years and the braking bumps and washboards are out of control these days. Make sure your nuts and bolts are tight with loc tight!! Driving over some of the terrain makes you feel like your car is going to fall apart.

My car is 3200# i gotta change a ton in the 3.5 5tubes or feels like your teeth and spleen are both going to fall out. We call it “rzr bump”

Not what I wanted to hear. I will go down to 18lbs in the Jeep and everything will be checked hopefully before and after the event. Have a few TH updates to complete before so running out of time for the Jeep.

 

[throttle]

I have not had time to do any tuning. So we will drop a couple pounds in the tensors and dial up our soft ride. Maybe just go faster over the top of everything that looks to be bouncy...

Yeah, these RZR's make these little stutter bumps in the soft stuff and washes. Too small for the suspension to really work. Sucks when you gotta pee!

 

[throttle]

excited to ride... we will be trailering shortly after 6am from Havasu.

You'd have to look at the map and figure it out what works for you

That's for sure.
Can be murderous.
It's why we take so many pee stops.
