The Yearly Calendar of events for the park was filling up fast, and we had to pull the trigger for this weekend. We were lucky to get a weekend as this place is getting so popular, they are filling up weekends a year in advance now.

Thursday evening pre-run dinner
7pm at Springfield Brewing Co. Downtown Springfield on Market & Walnut st. 301 South Market 65806

Saturday after lunch events...

50 yard drag races

Best timed obstacle course

Looking forward to seeing old faces, and hoping to meet many new ones this year! :)

Not much on camping? Hotel 6 miles from the park.

Directions to the Ranch....HWY 60 (goes across southern MO) to Seymour (east of Springfield). There is only a couple exits for this tiny town. They should all lead towards the center of town. Once your south of the RR tracks, you will wind your way thru the square and to HWY K. Take HWY K south 5 miles until you reach the park. It will be on the south side of HWY K and trust me, you wont miss it. Look for the signs, and the ranch style entrance.


Hope to see you there, tell a friend! :D

Bump. Put me down as a maybe. Gonna have to see what's gonna happen with school before I commit.
 












Sounds like fun to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope my rig is done and this is scheduled the week I was going to Moab??? so if Moab doesnt happen I will make it to SMORR
 












Dreaming of making it one of these days.
 






Sorry guys but I'm out, no option to vote on dates?? and this week and weekend I will be forsure going to Moab and dropping off my old axles on the way that I sold.

SMORR is an awesome place, all that go will love it!!!!
 






Well since I didn't make it to SMORR in 2011, I am going to try and make it to this meet. I'll have to check the dates for finals but I think it should work out.
 






Not sure if we'd do any wheeling (new explorer has 1 l/s and 31" tires) but we might take the weekend to camp, hang out and enjoy the bonfire.

...hopefully its not as ridiculously wet/cold as it was last year...
 






I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it this year. I got my class schedule and the run is the weekend before finals. :(
 












Toss me in the maybes I have some stuff goin on ;) but gonna try real hard this year!
 






Move me over to the attending pile! Locked in and ready to SMORR.
 












You know I'll have a couple passengers come along for the party!
 






Back on the Maybe list, will know forsure by Thursday. Pending my truck selling, which I should know tommorow.
 






You know I'll have a couple passengers come along for the party!

Will the calico cat be making an appearance?


I'll go ahead and move into the attending category.
 






I will know tommorow, if I'm a forsure. But looking like 99% since I have allready been paid for my truck, just pending pickup tommorow.
