Did the new combo locks get installed on the trailer? If so who has the combination? :?:

No lock for the coupler so I used mine just to get it home.

Rear doors had a combo lock on it, no clue what the combination is.

The coupler should have a combination lock that stays with the trailer......

howard bought the locks. a pair with the same combination. he should have the numbers, if they aren't still on a little sticker on the back of the locks. there shoulda been two of them...somewhere...

They're still in the package, just inside the side door, to the right. I thought about putting them on, but figured I was better off not messing with locks I didn't know the combinations to, especially since the trailer was going in the barn anyhow.

BTW, why did we save the old canopy and speaker stands...haven't used them since before we last cleaned out the old trailer at Ron's house. (Although I did use a speaker stand to hold up a garbage bag...still isn't worth keeping.)

Brian and I debated that when we repacked the trailer. We do occasionally use the canopy, esp. at B'ville in summer - if nothing else the ice in the coolers lasts longer in the shade. The speaker stands we weren't sure if anyone wanted them.

You are right, we haven't used them in years, like, 4 or more.

Anyone want a pair of tubular metal speaker stands?

We did use two of those stands Saturday, they worked great holding up those patio table umbrellas, don't know if that's worth keeping them, but they did come in handy.

I had a little laugh when I saw the umbrellas getting set up, but to there credit, they kept a few people dry. 8)

We now have 3 combo locks, but with 2 different combinations, maybe we should return the two new ones and buy 3 with the same combo? :?:

There are only two doors...which I think is why someone bought a pair of matching locks.

2 doors plus the tongue, that's what I was thinking by 3 locks. While we don't need to lock the tongue while it's at Howards, we should have something to keep the latch from popping open during transport. Plus there will be times where the trailer will be parked in someones driveway over night. I'm thinking few bucks for a little extra security. (my 2 cents)

I could only find two combo locks with the same combo, plenty of key locks in groups of four. You don't need a lock for the tongue , just a snap latch or caribeener, since we don't keep the trailer locked to a car.

I'm glad they were there... though since they have holes they misted us... lol

I'm going by goodwill after work today or maybe with Derek tomorrow and seeing if they have any beach umbrellas. Something large enough for several people but that actually repels water :)

Welcome!! :D

As you will soon find out, a FAST event is made of a group of people that all chip in to make a sucessful event. Everyone gives a hand, when it comes to setting up the course, running the event, and breaking it down, there's always "work" to be done.

There will be a work assignment listed after the drivers meeting to show you your work assignment. As a first timer or seasoned regular, you're more than welcome to help with any job, (on top of your regular assignment) and there's always something that needs to get done so please don't hesitate to ask.

EDIT: I made it even better. :)

Close contest for Class E

Postby krebstar » Mon Jun 30, 2008 1:58 pm

I was looking at the season standings for Class E(vested interest). And it looks like a close race for points.

By my calculations, there are two people tied for 1st. Derek Knoth and Kyle Sokol at 25 points. And three closely contesting 3rd place. Me (18), Loren Williams (16) and Matthew Bennett (16). That's without dropping low scores. But, everyone listed has low scores of 1. Except Loren who has a zero. So, that doesn't make much difference.

Should be interesting season finale.
