2008 Ethel Mud Bog Improvements updated

Mud Slingers 4x4

We will be hauling concrete barriers to the Ethel site On May 3, We need these blocks so we can provide better safety to the spectators and also maintain insurance for future events. If you want to help out with this please contact me 253 537 3755. The barriers are 2'x2' x 6 foot long and weigh 3000 lbs each. We have got some volunteers and we are totally grateful to them. Bob Lambert has promised 3 trucks with trailers and drivers and is donating the cost of the labor and fuel. If you have a chance this year, please let him know how much we all appreciate his support. Also Jim Blood From the Port Angeles area is bringing down a Truck trailer and fork lift to load the trucks onto the trailer. I also met a nice young fellow by the name of Giorgio at Taco bell who also wants to help out, He has promised a truck and trailer . I need to find out the Names of the trucking companies or businesses so we can advertise them . We also have had 2 people with CDL licenses offer to drive if I could rent or find trucks for them to drive. When You see these people at the races show them your appreciation. I AND THE CLUB AS WELL AS KEN AND MAUREAN OLSON APPRECIATE THEM GREATLY THANKYOU, THANKYOU , THANKYOU......................................

Bob Lambert and I are hauling concrete Barriers June 3, 2008 We are getting about 40 of them to start with. The land owner is splitting the cost with us, but I want to let everyone know that Bob is doing all the hauling for free. I thought that I would have the place that is selling us the blocks haul them and I soon found out how very exspensive that would be as a matter of fact the cost would have been $856.00 per load x 4 loads = $3424.00
I am so greatful that Bob Lambert is doing this for us, Not just us but for all of you as well becouse if he had not we would not of been able to have the event. Do me a favor when you see him throw him a pat on the back or a hand shake

Please look further below, I am having trouble making it work correctly and their is more info below

After we get the blocks in place, We need to get the water line installed. We are no longer PNW members and there fore can no longer use their water trucks. We are looking for a good deal on 3" Schedule 40 drinkable water line about 1000 feet. We plan on using profits from the Straddline event May 17 - 18 to get this purchased and installed. Once we have water to the pits we can start having monthly events in Ethel. We also want to buy a couple of High powered water pumps instead of pressure washers to clean the trucks quicker and easier. We also plan on building a nice wash station. I would also like to see some RV hook ups and Maybe by this time next year a portable shower made out of a enclosed trailer( I am open for your Ideas).

WE RECIEVED A GENEROUSE DONATION OF $300.00 TO HELP PAY FOR THE WATER LINE AT HAPPS FROM Jerry Write

Owner of Sartin Construction and Trucking

He is from Sunnyside Wa and his contact number is

509 837 7100

We thank him for his generouse donation.

We had a meeting with the land owner and the pnw racers. I took Bob Lambert, Barry Shelgren, Barbra Winnette and Corey Young with me. We agreed to a perminant Tuff Truck corse that can not be altered by anyone except us.We have made agreements with each other to work together on biulding and improving the facility. We went thirds on the water line and we purchased 1500 feet along with atachment pieces, valves and glue. We plan on it being installed by the next Mud Bog.

After we Get the water line Done I want to try to find some FREE LOGS and haul them to the Ethel site, I want to start building some permanent tuff truck obstacles. I also need to find someone Who has a grader, I would like to finish building the Sand Drag course. We also have more steel for more bleachers and would like to get them put together as well.
If you have any Ideas or input or want to help out let me know. We are always in need of help.

We started the Mudslingers so we could improve the events and make them better each year. We got a good start last year with Toilets, 2 Bleachers, New tuff truck course, New Mud Bog Pits, New fencing and covered area's with tarps. We had a lot of help from a lot of you. THANKYOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN MAKING IT HAPPEN.

The pits are built in Ethel They are the best ones I ever built. They are way differant Than anything else we have ever had. I know all of you will enjoy them for many years to come

Keep checking back for more updates. We got 2 bleachers that I will need to haul next week the 4 or 5 of April, they are 20 feet long and have 10 rows of seats. They are just the metal frames and will need some repair and planks. They will be real nice when we get done with them. The place that gave them to me has promised me 15 more of them next year. This is major score, Bleacher are real expensive. They will all need some repair and new wood. I figure each bleacher will cost us approximentaly $800.00 - $1000.00 each to get them fixed put together a fraction of what they would cost if they were new.
