Secrets Out

[EdJonesJeeper]

The only time I every experienced the kind of joy I had today, was my first time at the Flats.

The first time I stepped foot on the property was the early open ride of 2011. I had never seen so many rigs bigger and badder than mine cobbled together like ants on a sugar hill. The smell of burnt mud and rubber in the air with Godzilla-esque roars coming from the cover of the forrest tingled my spine. That was a day I met many life long friends and knew I had to be a member of the Flats.

Today I had that feeling again. Today I wore a suit and went to work. Today I didn't wheel at all!?? But, Today I was a proud ROCK CORPS member.

I ran into these guys after work today and couldn't contain my excitement. The JK Experience (under request of Mel and the promoters http://www.jk-experience.com/ ) secretly and stealthily came rocked our park today and stayed overnight two nights in Asheville. They started in Tennessee at Ian from Extreme4x4's shop 4 days ago and will end at Jeep Week this Friday in Daytona. They're hitting a park almost everyday and running 80 mph down the highway and night. Tow pigs shunned upon. This is BIG. This has Cameras. THIS IS GOING TO BE ON TV!!!!!!

Today you'll be jealous like me that you don't own a road legal bad to the bone JK

@JK_Byron sorry if I'm stealing some thunder but post them pictures son!

Yeah man! I had to exit at 85 and head into Rutherfordton today. Saw several rigs leaving the rippy-mart and headed back.

I bet it was a good day to be at the Flats.

So come off some of the pic Byron!

[EdJonesJeeper]

Sloppy Joe claimed two 40s today on the right exit apparently. I'll look Saturday and try to pull the stump that gouged both side walls.

I didn't get many action pics. As a trail guide it was difficult to take pics and guide people at the same time.

I saw some pics the other day on FB with some of the guys there. I said it in another post, we need to organize the nc4x4 experience and do something similar.

 

[chrishundley138]

I don't even have a jeep anymore and I'm still jealous, they go anywhere else in nc?

As far as I know they did not. The cool thing is is that none of the group knows where they are going next. The organizers are the only ones. They pretty much tell them what they need the morning of and show up somewhere and wheel. It is pretty cool! Great group of guys!

Pure. Awesome. Doesn't look like the Flats day summary is up on the blog yet.
