Pretty cool though seeing a old blazer tearing up the trail.

Re: Oldchev4x4`s Blazer in Action
You betcha I would be standing clear of the trail. Something happen and hit a tree going that fast, parts would fly everywhere. Hope you would be behind it when it hit.

Re: Oldchev4x4`s Blazer in Action
Yeah,it`s a race.It`s pretty much stand near a tree big enough to stop a raging truck so you can put it between ya.The`70 blazer belongs to randy,otherwise known here as oldchev4x4.I posted a little ditty about the race in the 4wd forum,but figureed the Blazer crowd would get a kick out of this.The race was in central PA and is called the Line Mountain 7-Miler.The coarse changes every year and it`s closer to 10 miles now.This was the 39th year.it takes about 3 hours to complete.it`s 4 laps and the winner ran about 38-39 minute laps.Most don`t finish and many spend as much time wrenchin`on the trail or in the pit area,if they can limp it there,as they spend racing.This race breaks trucks!

^I t y p e r e a l s l o w.
Andy,I just learned that about your Longhorn.Jeff is the co-pilot.It`s a small world wide web,huh? That`s the smooth part of the race.It`s actually used as a driveway by a club member who build a wildness cabin along the track.so,that black stuff is crusher run from coal country.it`s a pretty steep uphill.kinda hard to tell.It`s straight up the mountainside,8% grade is what I`d guess.

Re: Oldchev4x4`s Blazer in Action
I remember Jeff... he's also a member here, but I can't remember the username.
Jeff actually grabbed a part of the 'ole longhorrn... he has (or at least had) the radio delete plate off of it. Both Randy and Jeff are pretty cool guys if you ask me. |

Re: Oldchev4x4`s Blazer in Action
That WAS a 10 mile run for beer .Jeff`s user name is GTO Mechanic.His brother Jim is Jimmer64,IIRC.Randy,Jeff,and Jim are great folk.If anyone recalls,there was a thread called "Blue Blazer Conspiracy" back in`08.That was about a few of us Maryland guys heading up for jim`s parts extravaganza that ended up in randy`s garage for a redecorating party.Jeff has a blue Blazer and Randy has two.That trip lead to us going to see Randy do this race last year and we came back for more this year.It`s a blast!
