Battery (if needed), gas, oil

I think the bigger question is what you would consider over aggressive tires. Depending on this, it could wipe out 50%+ of the people who attend.

Fellow Pumpkin Runners,

It's time for the 46th Annual Pumpkin Run being held October 28-29 at our primo property in Samsula, Florida! On-line registration is now open by going to ApolloMotorcycleClub.com. See the attachments for additional info and post it anywhere you can! We have a great new road system and working showers (compared to the ones we rented last year) and improved roads for everyone to be able to come and easily enjoy themselves. Great mud only areas and average quad trails for everyone depending on your flavor. The event is open to all ATVs, Side x Sides, and Dirt Bikes so bring your family, your friends, and your friend's family to the best event of the year! Sorry, no 3-wheelers allowed.

Thanks and I'll see everyone out on the trails!- Apollo Motorcycle Club Event Staff

Sold my bike a couple months ago cause I knew it was just a matter of time. Got my money while the gettin was still good

5A has been going to close down for a very long time. I will believe it when I see it.

I remember when Larry started riding. Now he is one of the professionals! Go get em, Larry! 

You still pulling with that little Kia (or whatever it was!). I'll never forget you out at the Pumpkin Run with your car on the only piece of green turf left. That was classic! Wish I had taken a photo of that!

This next FREE pass is for long time ATV Florida members, to be eligible to win you must have a 100+ post count.

1st long term member with a 100+ post count to post a picture of their ride will win.

Boom goes the dynamite!

I have never tried it but I believe Google maps will plot your location via GPS only. You won't be able to get directions though.

My first car was a 72 duster.

You had your first car 10 years before I was born.

What is the type of crowd that is drawn? This can be hit or miss. Everyone is usually pretty friendly but there can be some wild people from time to time. I've never had any issues though.

Is it actually legal? Yes

What is the typical terrain? Pretty wet as of late from what I have heard. Depends on the rain fall. I've seen it swamped and I have seen it dry. The ground it all sand. I have not ridden here in over a year though.

Anywhere nearby to stay? Not really. Probably the best option would be one of the hotels off the Colonial Drive(SR50) exit of I95. About 15 miles south. Not sure I would want to leave my equipment out though.

I would go but that's the one weekend out of the year that i paint my toenails....  

This is all I can picture....

Voted!  :ThumbsUp.gif

Will yall be selling pumpkin run t shirts at the event? Or will they only available when you bought pre sale tickets?

They usually sell them at the trailer towards the back of the property. Just follow the entrance road all the way back to the fence.

Great picture, Grizzly_Tamer! Dave, is there any chance with all this rain it will be TOO wet to hold the run? I saw Mudmuckers was cancelled.

Fixed!!!

I may be going alone this year. If anyone plans to go and wouldn't mind another rider tagging along, let me know!

Mmmmm mud

I went there during Hurricane/Tropical Storm Fay and most of the trails were literally 2-4 foot deep rivers. It was myself and a friend and another group of 5 and that's all that was out there. Craziest riding I think I have ever done.

Motor mount? Cleaned the clutch lately?

ya I say its a little wet .. and the holes are getting deeper,,,,,

Thats what she said!

If I wanted a single seater, I'd buy a fourwheeler

Stick to the south side of the canal and you should be fine

I'd recommend the ITP Mud Lite XTR. I use the ITP Mud Lite AT but my buddy has the XTR's and I like them a lot. If you want aggressive tires, you can always go with Outlaws or Silverbacks. I also recommend Craigslist to purchase them

Fantastic, you've made my day! 

Will you be in the back behind the gate as usual?

AMC,

do you by chance know anyone that is going to have a TV there and maybe happen to have the FSU vs. Clemson game on?
