The testing weekend at Hollister Hills will be April 8-9.
We will camp right at the 4wd obstacle course.  There are
about 10 campsites there with fire rings and water.  There
are plenty more at the upper ranch.  Showers are available
at the lower ranch.  You need to check in at the ranger's
station and ask how to get to the obstacle course.  The
camping and use fee is cheap...less than $20 to my memory.

We will have the new betts rear spring prototypes available
for testing.  Peter will be bringing his rear air
suspension.  There will be several folks with Bilstein
custom shocks and Betts front springs.  I think someone with
Old Man Emy shocks is coming as well.

We chose this weekend so we can test the Betts rear springs
asap....they will be done april 3.  It will take another 8
weeks to do the production run once testing of the
prototypes is completed.

Coincidentally, there will be a motocross race that sunday
on the famous GP track...where the U.S. Granp Prix (world
championships) were held.  It is the finest track in
california with the exception of Momouth, so it may be worth
a gander on the way out.  Northern California has some of
the nations best motocrossers.

There are some photos on the site and lots of info.

If you plan on attending, please let me know so i can make
the necessary arrangements if more than 10 vans show up.  I
wiull be heading down to hollister that Friday early
afternoon to secure as many spots as possible.  I am
bringing my kids (6 year old trwins, and Peter is bringing
his daughter (5) and wife.  there will be some good home
cooking and socializing around the fire, too.

I reccomend you try to get there friday evening or saturday
morning.  I expect we will do the testing on saturday, and
go explore the trails sunday, but there is no set plan.
