[QUOTE="Stretch, post: 735760, member: 412"] I've met a bunch of good people through wheelin but have been out of it for about 2+ years now. Slowly piecing together a 79 CJ7 as a trail rider and just something fun to bomb around the inlaws farm with using mostly parts laying around the farm. These days I'll get way more use out of a something with a tag that we can cruise to town and around the farm but can still hang with the Ton's and 40's crowd within reason. About 5 years ago I bought a dirtbike as a plan B for wheelin trips in case I blew my **** up and was 6-8hrs from home. I could load the beercan on the trailer and just hop on the bike and bomb around with everyone. Then I got conned into doing a hare scramble and it stuck. A handful of guys in the NC area that used to wheel a lot started riding and racing too. Started racing more and wheeling less because it was cheaper and way more convenient. I can ride/race about 5 different race series within a 4 hour drive of the house and its pennies on the dollar compared to breaking a rig during a wheeling trip. I can grenade a 250 2stroke, spend $600 to rebuild it and be back at the races the next weekend. Unless that actually happens, the regular maintenance is comically cheap in comparison to a rig. Yeah the risk is there, but I've seen some really sketchy **** happen in a rig too. [/QUOTE]
