"CJA Show N Shine -July 21/2001"

July 21/2001 we went to the Calgary Jeep Association Show N Shine. I believe they had about 40 some odd 4x4's show up. Nicely organized with a few extras thrown in. The trucks were shiny and clean . They had a 23 degree RTI ramp which we all tried. The Knight did the ramp and as we already knew we have a stiff suspension ( for performance in the mud pits) but it was fun to give it a shot :). They also had a tire pile that everyone would drive through after doing the ramp. They piled the tires as high as they could for the Knight but it was no problem :). A few trucks got stuck in the pile which was fun to see. They also had a dunk tank. A few people took turns and got a little wet. Christina from the Calgary women's bobsled team brought her bobsled . Interesting to sit in one. Wolf359 held on to his title at the RTI ramp.
Dr. Tom once again was #2 :).I'd have to say the highlight of the event was when Tim decided to ramp his hummer. First time I've seen a hummer roll onto it's side. A hummer has a very stiff suspension. He
drove onto the ramp, got out and tried to teeter totter it ( as I've seen it do before) but I guess this time he pushed it a tad too much :). After the show n shine a bunch of us headed to hooters for a bite. Then off to the second 4x4 cruise organized by willys and bocephus. About twenty or so trucks paraded downtown and headed off to willys burger joint. Another fun day.

Would like to thank the Calgary jeep Association for a great show. As well they will be donating part of their registration proceeds to the Alberta United Recreationists Trails Fund.
