Not lookin' good for me for '08. Brother-in-law has set his wedding date for that weekend and it's also my daughter's birthday on the 13th.

I'm working a deal that I trade TF for the "epic ride" to the dunes next fall, so it will all work out.

If things change, I'll be sure to let it be known.

I dont think you'll run into any aholes. You have to be careful in the trails, theres always the possibility that someone will be truckin in your direction.

Yes you can grudge match against anyone you want, or you can sign up for the official general class drags to see what your machine has.


Everyone that I met this year was very nice, and respectful. I think you would be hardpressed to find a scraper.


Get there, doesnt matter what you have to ride, nobody will give you a hard time.

I had the time of my life and I didnt even ride the trails that much. The trails, and country side are nice, but like I said you dont even have to leave the campground to have a good time.

Nope, just a few bucks to pay for camping.

Tri-Z Pilot
12-15-2007, 11:26 PM
Awesome I'm gonna try and find someone to go with me to split the costs with me. Looks like a 450 mile drive one way for me and with the price or gas that would kill me. Was thinkin about a uhaul, what do the other long distance people usually do?

Dollar a mile!!! That's crazy, I didnt think it would be that bad. My silverado only gets like 15mpg though. Maybe a rented pickup with a u-haul trailer? Think that would be any better?

01-15-2008, 12:42 PM
How about some flat track racing this year at TF. I know alot of people would be into that. The drags are a great time but I know alot of people would run there trikes on a flat circle track. Can anyone get this going to have as an event. Hell I would be willing to run the event and keep scores if need be. I have to orange cones to set up the track. Anyone else interested in this idea?

ATC-Eric
01-19-2008, 03:45 PM
Interested here. We discussed this last year, but nothing came of it.

Ill support you, help with the track and event.

I think the utility course was a great hit last year..I would Hope atctim does it again..I missed the whole thing because I was out hand rakeing the drag track..I kept seeing guys comeing from that area with a Big Grin and covered in mud:lol: :w00t:

My silverado only gets like 15mpg though.

WOW, our Silverado gets 28 MPG highway...and its got an LT1 350.

Hopefully this will be my first Trikefest, and im stoked!

I had planned on bringing just my 250R, but are quads allowed with the utility course? My big ol Arctic Cat 500 would love that.

Is anyone coming from the Terre Haute (indiana) area?

Also, what will i need to have to get in? i know registration and so on are not needed. I assume money for camping, anything else? (disclaimer or anything?)

yup just moeny and sign your life away and your ready for TF. Its mandatory for all first timers to ride up Devils Backbone within the first hour they get there. haha no kidding thats all you need.




One more thing you will have to bring is an AIR HORN and you will need to blow it late in the night. :beer

28 mpg? Thats insanity, what year truck is it?? assuming its 97 and below.


as far as the utility event, its trikes only with all the organized events (maybe with the exception of the poker run)

Id bring the arctic cat anyways, its always nice to have a spare machine, especially for those runs to the shower when you dont want to kick start a bike.

you'll get around the camping area with crappy tires but you wont make it out in the woods. Hell you can barely make it even with good tires.

johnny's X
04-07-2008, 12:33 PM
just put it this way, if you think you are ready for the mud at TF think again. Iam sure everyone remeber the poker run and the huge mud hole were there was a half dozen stuck up to there rear in mud. I saw an late 60's Nash deep in the woods with 35's on it and it was having a hard time with the mud. TF mud is honestly pure hell but so fun at same time.

ditchmud
04-17-2008, 01:56 PM
The mud is so thick that your forks act like razors shaving off the excess and sometimes my front wheel would stop spinning and just slide along untill it could free itself. After a weekend of that then it's time to load your stuff and hope your vehicle can get up the hill, without pete pulling it with his tractor. Come down and camp by the pond it's nice and scenic.

The 500 should be there, and I'll probably run it, but I just highly doubt I'll have it setup where it needs to be to run with you guys like it was last year, I had a couple years dialing in the chassis with the CR500 and stuff, and have very little with the ATC geometry.

Well I'll get there hopefully Tuesday night again like I did last year, plus I think Louis and his bro are campin there again and they'll be the entire week!

Will glad to hear your finally making it out, Thursdays gonna make it a kinda short trip but it'll still be worth it for sure.
