Haspin 2018, June 6th-10th, Mowercycle (mowrons!) gang. [ATLTF Official Event]

I wish I could go. But I can't. Don't even have a rig to take.

My time off is put in, I'm going to buy my trailer this weekend, the mower is at a steady pace

I’ll hopefully have a truck by then, and hope to have the CQ all tuned up and ready

Simplicity Racing will be there

Definetly on my list of things i wanna do, cant make it this year. My parents just might let me make the drive next year but if not ill definetly come out in the next few years with a couple rigs. Cant wait for the haspin videos!

Let me know either here or in the Haspin messenger group if you want any shirts for this year and what sizes...

<Bumping your message up>

I regret to inform everyone that I won't be making it this year.  I'm going through some changes with my career and this is a terrible time for me to be taking a vacation and I should be saving my money now due to these new circumstances.  Hopefully if all goes well I'll join in next year.

It seems that Haspin is only an hour and a half from my new house

An hour and a half? Lucky!!!! Id love to go but it's practically halfway across the nation.

Too bad about your job change carl, was looking forward to seeing how your machine performed in those conditions.

20 hr drive for me.  I hope to make it someday when I am over 18 and have a truck of my own, partially because it runs through Nashville.

Yeah, I am too Carl, hope everything gets sorted out in time for next year.

T minus 8 days... Tractors are prepped, time to start loading the provisions and tools.

It's gettin' close! I can't wait to see pictures of all the rigs at Haspin this year, seems to be a few more going.

Simplicity racing is ready to roll. The craftsman team with their new Haspin Edition machine seem to be getting close now...

I haven't even started tearing into the CQ yet.... its gonna be a long couple days I think. Should probably go work on the garage so I can actually fit it in there to work....

I thought you were talking about mods for after haspin in your build thread, jeeeeeeez only days to go man!!! You gonna have it done?

Mower Cycle Gang is packed and ready! We'll be there Weds - Sun morning!
Can't wait to ride with y'all!

The simplicity racing team crew made it back to New Jersey alive! Had a good time out there this year.

Heading out again


Hill top break area after an hour or so of riding. It was pretty hot that day, I'd say at least 80 F.

Dan and Stretch back from a patrol in Stretch's 1945 Jeep

Sweet!  Lots of good pix.  Lovin the jeep too.  Anyone take some video to put up later?

I got a TON of footage. I just got home and will start editing probably later on this evening

I took a lot of video too. I'll probably have a few posted on youtube soonish as I have time to edit.

Also, HUGE thanks to stretch and TheRainbowBoxer for lending me the ghost rider after I realized the CQ really wasn’t up for this kind of terrain

Needed some better tires? The mud looks a bit thick for those lobbied

My tractor is stock height, open diff, stamped frame, weak steering, among other things. It does fine where it’s flat (around where I live) but haspin is a totally different ball game. Also, that mud in the pics is completely clay. Some wet, some dry, but slicker than snot

Fixed the images... looked like fun!

Man that looks fun. Thanks for the pictures.
