Dsrace and I both have v6 cars. Make sure you put in mounts to control the torque of the motor. I dam near left my 3.1 on the ground. It had broken off the trans mount, mid mount, and started to take on the rear mount. Is that 091 built up? DS and I both now have 100% weddle geared 091s. DS blew his stock 2nd up pretty quick. The 3800 puts out some real fun power. Hope your at the beer fest

yes it is an 091 but it isn't built I'm hoping that it will hold up as good as my other trans it was a stock car IRS trans it made it thru 4 trips to LS the only problem I had was pulling the hockey stick out and it wouldn't shift. I don't think I took it to easy on it but I haven't got to wild with the big jumps. Most didn't believe it was a stock car but you can also see pictures of it in my photo bucket under my old buggy. Take a look at my pictures to see if I have the motor mounted good enough. Let me know if you think I need to add another mount. You can see all the pictures of my build at www.photobucket.com/sand-dragon-design  I would love to see you all at the bear fest when is it? Will it be OK if I only drink Root Beer? here is a clip of me and my old buggy with the same V6 that I'm using in my new one.

Looking on the Waynoka webb site there is no camp spots open as of yesterday.

         If the pay per sites are all full you can believe that all the public camp sites are full to.  You mite try the Deuces Wild and the other one down the way called Associated camping. They have some spots across the road north. 

Edit
Just called the Deuces Wild and they had a group cancel on them.  The owner is going to call me back and let me know if they have any of them still open.

The place will be crowded to overcapacity. If you really want to have fun riding the buggy you will be disappointed. If you like looking at a lot of stuff you will have a ball. Don't be too optimistic about finding a site tho. If you do find one grab it. IMMEDIATLY!

BTW, you can no longer park roadside to camp either.
