Sierra Days - TREK!

Sierra Days are when the weather is real nice and we don't feel like being in the office so we go sit on a winch hill for the day. 😂





I think you might have meant Sierra Trek. Sierra Trek is a long weekend fund raiser for the California Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs (CA4WD, for short). Sierra Trek is held on Fordyce trail which has five winch hills. The winch hills are the harder areas on the trail and vehicles often require some sort of assistance. Volunteers work these winch hills to help keep the traffic flowing during the event.

days - trek... sound the same to me.... LOL

(Just Kiddin'😉



I see. thanks for the clarification. I though it might have been some sort of rally race and you had to watch for rule breakers or something. But that makes more sense...

We've got really nice weather this week and it would be perfect to call in sick to work for a Sierra Day. 😀



Here's a link to info about the 2009 Sierra Trek.

I like that idea! My money is on John or Rob (in the "Still Looks Like A Jeep" class) in the 1st Annual Sierra Trek Rally Race. 😂

Still looks like a jeep... 😂



We used to have an Ice Rally here... quickest around a track on a frozen lake. But that doesn't happen any more (Global warming I guess)...



I don't see much of these events these days, but the ol' fellars talk a lot of them....

I recall reading about these kinds of events in the magazines. Those spiked tires always looked pretty wicked!

ill put 2 bucks

I'd put a few bucks on Rob, but his Jeep wouldn't survive the race (again) 😳



I'd also put some money on Brad, but he's way, way, way out of practice (web wheeler) 😂



How about putting some money on Keane...hahaha...just kidding...crawler gears 🙄



Jusin would just scream like a girl...and I'd have to drive faster to get away from him :girly:



So, I guess I'll bet on ME 😏

You would probably break too. I think I'll put a buck on me.

What are the rules?

It's not Strawberry...I won't break. I might bend stuff, but not break it 😛

Without tampering...Sure thing.



I think it would be really interesting between Rob and myself. One of us would end up on our roof or over the side of a hill.

Just don't go to the car wash... (no breaky)

Exactly!!! You learn much faster than the rest of these guys.

-No bypasses

-Time deductions for help on the Winch Hills

-Staggered starts

You guys can probably drive through faster than I can drive around. 😀

rules in a knife fight? There are no rules.

I'd say 1 spotter, no help. no time deductions for winching or stacking.



Maybe work out rules if you catch the rig in front of you for a staggered start.

No spotters...you're on your own out there.

Sierra Trek Solo Rock Race.





(and there's a movie quote that got overlooked)

This sounds like a fun event.



Say we stagger each start by 5 minutes, and you must pull over once caught by the vehicle behind you.
