Oh I'd never rule him out but he actually has to go offroad :poke: to get to the mt... :raspberry: . Its not a rocky surface and its hard packed ground so m/t's aren't gonna be a huge advantage here.

They're good tires, but more rock oriented from what i've seen... I think you have a pretty good shot at it Bob!

I've odd feeling he's gonna just do something crazy and pick a good line and his momentum will carry him up it ... But I'm not handing over my money quite yet! I still think its more than doable with my one wheel drive system of awesomeness!

That one wheel drive system of awesomeness is a sight to behold :bow down: :poke:

I think everyone has their respective chance. Things working for and against each of us. I'll just put my money on having a good time and maybe getting some free gas.

Bob is a crazy SOB... that's for sure. Saw plenty of it at TECORE 2.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, btw, Bob... I'm going to try my damnedest to make it out this time just so I can shut Tom & Brendan up... :slap:

Even with 4x4 the most it can be with a g80 is 3wd... so since my 4x4 is on the fritz its 1wd. And Mario we're just trying to get you out and get you to have some fun man, no need to trash talk after all mall cruisers aren't eligible for this... :poke:

Under those conditions (no G80), with lack of traction on either side in the rear you're a ZERO wheel drive. People without G80s have been stuck on wet leaves and tiny ice patches against the curb on slight hills. It's pitiful to watch.

A condition I aim to resolve without the addition of a G80 if I can manage.
