FMCA Rally - Indio CA - Jan 2009

I  have a question anyone know who it was the left the area we were parked & ended up leaving many yards of tire rubber on the parking lot & on Arabian.
My guess is their toad had the Parking Brake on when they pulled away or it was in gear.

No, I was distracted when hooking up and forgot to disconnect the drive shaft and release the steering lock Luckily, we stopped before any really bad damage was done. 

When do I get my HFWPOH award

LOL Bernie, at least you realized it. A few years ago we were 50 miles out of Salt Lake when I asked Chris to pull over; I couldn't recall letting off the parking brake on the Suburban. Sure enough, I hadn't. The next Chevy dealer installed new parking brake linings.

We'll give you the HFWPOH award at Qtz. I saw you start to pull away and heard a horrible screeching sound but saw that you were pulling over so I didn't have to run down Arabian chasing you. And you notice that we didn't rat you out

Don't feel bad, Bernie.  At one Quartzsite gathering I set the toad up to travel (it's a pink job in our family).  We then proceeded to pull out in front of God and everyone else in attendance at the rally, dragging the toad in the dirt.  I forget exactly what I forgot to do, but luckily everyone got us stopped in time to prevent damage.  (Except to my pride!)

The resultant flat spot on Bernie's tires might produce some interesting noises of their own

Thank God for those Pressure Pro sensors on the toad, huh?  They probably saved the day!

So far so good. The flat spots are very quiet and the tranny is shifting OK.
