[QUOTE="m3dragon, post: 924081, member: 9079"] ROC Fest 2015 was the first of a new annual event for Northern CA and NV. Myself and the ROC Team would like to thank all those who participated and helped us make the event a great success. Those who missed this year, we are doing the event again next year on the 2nd weekend of October (weather dependent of course). As there were so many activities and events going on there is no way to do a play by play recap. You can see all the images and video on the [url=http://raddrives.com/albums/2015-ROC_Fest/]ROC FEST - 2015[/url] website. We have over 520 images so the images posted to the thread are some of the hilights of the three days activities. See the Event recap video here [url]https://vimeo.com/144317803[/url] The recaps we have are from the group runs we did over the three days. There were many other outings and activities participants partaken in. They can share their stories on the forum they belong to if they so choose. Friday, 12 participants went out on a 45 mile fast trail loop with some great switch back sections. With the rain the weekend before, some parts of the trail had big mud puddles, which meant none of the trucks were going to stay clean for long. One of the large mud puddles reached up and grabbed one of the participants and wouldn't let him go. We quickly pulled him out of the mud and were able to move on. A first time Raptor owner found out in a wash out the stock tie rods on his truchk were not that strong. Luckily, we planned for such a thing and had spares.
