Saturday Scratch Run scouting trip

#1 Post by cbalme » Thu Apr 11, 2024 8:20 pm

If anyone is interested, I’m going out Saturday to find a scratch run.

Anyone is welcome to come let me know and we can meet somewhere in duncan area and head out.

Your vehicle may get scratched if it comes! Just fyi…

Hi mthede

We did get scratches from bushes, you can not get away from that on Vancouver Island, most of the trails we go on on the Sunday scratch and dent run are old overgrown logging roads and rail grades (when they used to log by train.)
Nobody got any dents on the scouting run but it is possible if you are not careful. The longer wheelbases 109s and 110s will be doing some back and fourthing to get around some of the tight corners.

If you have a pristine vehicle (and want to keep it that way) the Sunday drive is Not- recommended, however you can always ride with someone there are always seats available, we will be coming back to the event headquarters after the Sunday drive. If your staying over till Monday morning dinner is your responsibility but we will all be chowing down together Sunday evening. Hopefully with a campfire again.

See you there Victor
Only 11 more sleeps to go.
