    GPS devels slide is in G.P. It is a granite hillside allong the rail road tracks . people take there dirt bikes there to hillclimb and rat around-I 'll need to get back to you on the road used to access is=back in the day we used to ride dirt bikes down the tracks from either the "B" St. granite pits or Foundery---you can get to it off of Bridge St.-I can't remember the Rd. needed from Bridge though.=I'll get back to you.

    you guys might wanna be careful going up there, I heard a bit back they had started enforcing the no trespassing as it is private property.

    I know this is an OLD thread but you won't get in trouble unless you're riding there. You can get their off of f street and walk down the tracks or follow country aire all the way down till its a dead end with a rock wall and cross the road then follow the tracks the other way. I'd Google map it for the closest point of entry

    the old guys rode the back side of the slide
    ...and packed in beer :-X
    we used to take the "B' St. pits,over the "Goat Ranch",to the tracks & rode the tracks /maint. trails to "F" /Foundry,then over the top,back to "B"...
    ...like,100 years ago ???

    Nice ;) that 2.5 is temperamental when it comes to tuning. But one you get it there it's a screamer. If you ever want to replace it go with the trx trade in and put the 3.3 in it. Or if you have the cash get something bigger. I love my T-maxx 3.3. 8)

    scrap reverse,you hit reverse when your balls out bye bye tranny,unless you have the opty drive,3.3 best way to go,if you go bigger you will need chassis and big block motor mount kit,unless your motor fits the motor mount,had a chance to float my tmaxx yesterday at the ponds ummmmm they dont float  ::)

    AAAH :eek:-The floating/nonfloating  T-Maxx :-X
    I hear water works great on cleaning carbon off a HOT cylinder head/piston...just before it hydro locks and throws a rod out the block. :-\
    ALL I CAN SAY IS "YOOOOTUBEIT"...hope it didn't become bass food.
    BTW-They (the leaser on the drag strip) came and had me move my pick up,so he could lock the main gate...I'm glad he didn't lock us in ;)
