Direction to the bashing place coming from San Antonio:

Take I-10 East towards Houston, exit Mason Road (after Grand Parkway). If you see Fry Road, you went too far! Turn left under I-10 onto Mason Road going north. Take the first right into the church parking lot. Driving towards the southeast corner of the parking lot and follow the dirt road along the ditch towards the trees and sandhills. There you have it! :resp:

Candlewood Suites looks like a nice place, cheaper (internet advanced rate) and new. If you are going to the Candlewood Suites from I-10 West, exit Fry Road. Turn left and go under I-10 and continue going north on Fry Road. Turn left on Park Row Dr., Candlewood Suites is on the right 😛 🙂 :resp:

[NiteRida]

off to stack up our junk in the garage.... shooting for noon'ish.

 

[whipnet]

Yep, just got finished up on the trucks myself. (Blew out the kiddo's servo today on his Slash. Made it to the hobby shop before they closed.)

All good to go. See you guys and gals tomorrow.

[Crash]

cant wait to see your pics guys

have fun

be safe

 

[NiteRida]

My son and I had a great time... despite the 20 mph wind and dust storms. The location was great. As usual, we ran our trucks hard, but didn't break a single thing. We won't make it back tomorrow, but look forward to the next "gathering".

I didn't get any action shots. I typically get those when I'm down due to breakage, but we just kept putting fuel in and running.

This is the group photo (without owners). Hopefully someone else will post it.

These are our 3... Red: Mine, Blue: son's, the one on the ground is the spare.

 

[jcam54]

Cool Nicks working on the pics and vid...I need to fix my junk!
