not everyone has the privilege of having weekends off no problem. I'd be in the club but I work every Saturday and sometimes Sunday. Sure I could take them off but then the weekend is costing me more than gas food and entry.

It's called planning ahead. Every member gets the calendar for the whole year and the dates and times hardly change, if ever. So management makes it easy for people to plan......for the whole year.

I get that.. but on average I make as much money on saturday as two or three weekdays combined. It's just not as easy as switching days around, it' essentially would cost me like 300 bucks to take the day off to wheel

September 13 14 and15th south fork dirt riders is open to trucks and jeeps. South fork is located in taliorville il.

The park is being switched from a mx park to a truck/jeep park. I talked to the owner and he is looking to more jeep friendly, so come trail ride cause the owner wants jeep crowd feed back.

$300.00?!?! Where are you getting that from. It's less then a $100.00 day for me to wheel at the Cliff's. $300.00 would get me to the Badlands, food, camping and a tshirt or two. So....

It costs me 400 to go for a day to the badlands. He wasn't saying that the trip costs 300 he's saying that he won't make the 300 for that day from work so its like spending that kind of money to skip a day of work.

He's not saying he makes 400 a day. He's stating that it would cost him that much when you figure in what he would lose by not working a Saturday AND the cost of the trip to the badlands.

If I made 400 a day I wouldn't be driving a jeep haha. it costs me around 400 to go because its 80 to fill the jeep, 120 each way for the truck and around 80 for food and admission for 2 people. I'm also 3 hours away.
