    WHAT:
    Grand Slam - Mid West
    WHERE:
    Badlands Off-road Park, Attica Indiana
    WHO:
    Any one who wants to attend! You are encouraged to bring a Grand Cherokee, however other models are accepted as long as you are ready to have fun! In the future when this event gets more attention, there might need to be some restrictions. However that is a long way off.
    WHEN: Grand Slam Mid-West will be held:

    --->May 2008 9, 10, and 11.<---

    Info for Badlands:
    http://www.badlandsoffroad.com/

    Places to stay:

    The Attica Inn
    http://www.theatticainn.com/
    -it is a nice place, be sure to mention the Badlands for the discount. The Inn is within 2 miles of the park. Parking lot wrenching friendly as well. They do ask you not to use the bath towels to clean your vehicles. (for real!)

    The Badlands Campground
    http://www.atticacamping.com/
    -nice campground located on the property of the park near the entrance. This is where we had the cookout, which will happen again!

    Those are the only two that I have personally been to. The campground is only $7 a person per night, which is pretty cheap, yet still a nice campground.

    More places to stay can be found here:
    http://www.badlandsoffroad.com/miscpage_003.asp

    GET READY NOW!

    Had tranny probs last time and couldn't make it, but this year I should be on point.
    93ish zj, d60s, 38.5 maxxis, and a bunch of other expensive parts to make them work.

    Truck stacks, for when your trucks nuts are just not gay enough anymore.

    You think we should amend the rules to prohibit attending individuals riding other individuals?

    I'll be there, it's kind of a tradition now, eh

    I'll be trying to find some give aways again this year, I know Iron Rock has already agreed to donate a few things. Last year we were lucky enough to have something for every driver, hopefully we can do something similar.

    I should also have the "machine gun" front end fixed by then, so I won't scare so many people when I have to lock up

    I haven't heard from him in awhile, I know he still lurks over at JF at times but I'll see if I can get him to put something together again.

    Never been there, just wondering what the terrain was like. I'll probably still be where I am at right now: 4.5", 31's, open 30/35, winch, DD but not afraid of body damage. Sounds like a good time, would love to make it down there.

    You will be more than fine. I went everywhere anyone else did with 4.5" and 31s open/open last year.
