Zukapalooza 2009

[zorproducts]

Yes I know this is a long way off. Our goal is to get 300 rigs out to this event in May of 2009 May 22nd through May 25th. It is the tenth anniversary of the zuksofarizona.com club, Scott Senko and I will be in charge of this event from now on. The Verde Valley offers some of the greatest trails in Arizona. From Scenic to hardcore break your junk rock crawling (The road to Brutal is so tough lots of rigs break before they get to the trail head, LOL!). Our plans include a Poker Run, Party event with the biggest giveaway of products in the history of all events. I will be adding to this thread all year long and want a really good showing of the ZK faithful. For the most hardcore of hardcore the #1 rated trail in AZ is only 49 miles away. Matrix as got to be the most wicked trail I have ever seen. Plan for either carnage which = a great time or simply a great time.

Here is the official web page http://www.zuksoffroad.net/zpcamp.htm

[jackson]

i will be there,my samurai should be done by then.lol

[zorproducts]

I agree, you will be there and your rig will be finished.
MY

[hallic]

Man, that sounds like a blast... if I start now, I might be able to save up enough spare cash for gas $$ lol

[jpzuki]

sounds like a damn good time! I think it is far enough ahead I will definately try and make it and I will try and get my zuk crew from so cal in on it too!

[ryan_m]

I would definitely want to join in this as long as gas isnt $7.00 a gallon.

[captaindavid]

stupid, totally agree, as for right now with a years advance, i should be down to make that run

[SamauriShawn]

That even sounds good from here.

[nunk]

sounds like a good time
might have to build a zuk tow rig to be able to afford the gas!

[zorproducts]

One if the things I have always thought about doing was timed trials for Samurais. The concept is you get 2 or 3 rigs that are similar and sent them off together on a marked trail. A minute later you send off another 2 to 3 rigs. The first group has markers on the windshield that read 1a, 1b, 1c. The second through the last group have increasing identifying numbers and letters. The idea is they have to negoiate the trail and be at a certain place at a certain time. You have hidden time stations where people come out of the bushes and write their time down on a score sheet. If they are early they lose double points. On time is no points and late is single points. The lowest score wins. If they are early and stop their wheels turning they are penalized at that time. The idea is to hit the mark right on the second. I use to race the Enduro circuit in California and these timed enduros were da bomb. If your clock failed you knew you were early if you caught up with the people in front of you or late if you got passed up by the group behind you. Would love to incorporate this into ZP09 for those willing to go for trophys.

Looking for ideas like this to make this the most talked about event ever.

To save travel money for this event start dropping your daily change in a jug and next year no matter what gas costs you will have the money.


MY

[jackson]

my,from now until the event i can help with whatever you need you have my number and email.my wife is a rn if you need someone for boo boo help.

[zorproducts]

Cory,
Scott and I are going to be asking for ZOA help in the extreme. We have so many ideas and only 1 year to make this the "GO TO" event for Suzuki addicts. Your wife's RN duties will be be SO needed. I plan on bringing back bleeding participants to the home base with big smiles on their faces. Sorta reminds me of when I broke my pelvis on the Barstow to Vegas run in 1978. It hurt so much to laugh during the ambulance ride and hospitalization, what a blast! Just have to figure how to get a bunch of strippers to come out in the heat on unaccessible trails??
MY

[jackson]

im sure she would rather patch people up than listen to me tell her about the cool samurais i have seen and what parts i want.lol

i couldnt imagine a broke pelvis,one of my surgeries they took bone from my pelvis and that hurt enough.

[catzuk]

Strippers and wheeling??? I'm so there!!! LOL

Seriously, I will be there. I will be making my "Arizona trip" jar today and my change is going into it!!! :happy

[SamuraiAZ]

Count Me In, Ill Be There No Matter What!

[phloop]

bigok, this a run I can make.


And be able too meet some of the brother's.




Saving the pennys now.

[threewhd]

any idea where approximate location? I am going to go to one of these events next year(god willing for no breakdowns of zuk, or dd knock on wood). just depends on how far and how much I can save for gas by next year. Anywhere I go seems to be atleast 1000-1400 hundred just for the tow rig.

I am guessing you are asking where ZP09 is located. Right in the middle of Arizona. 52 miles south of Flagstaff, turn right off I17 onto Hiway260 and follow the signs to Dead Horse State Park. We know for a fact that the park will be full as it is first come first served. So plan on staying at a local hotel or roughing it out by the beautiful Verde River. We will be posting more camping and hotel info later on.

My- How far is this from Havasu City? My parents just bought a place down there, and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth haulin' the Zuk down there some time.

i went in 05 and it was a blast.
i've been trying to get back ever sence.lack of rig for those trails have stoped me.
so bring the zuk any time and enjoy.:happy

[zorproducts]

Well I know the Havazuk crowd makes it every year, I am not sure of their route but I will try to explain. From Kingman it is 199 miles to my location through Flagstaff on the 40 and Cottonwood is 15 miles away from me. From Blythe via the 10, it is 3+ hours through Phoenix and up north on the 17 to the Verde Valley.

yep and thanks

[RP-Zuki]

MY, count me in. A year is a long time to forsee any issues coming up, but from what I can tell, I am going 100%. Would love to get to meet some of yall.

I know its early, but just to get an idea: I would be towing the Zuk, and plan to stay in a hotel (especially if the lady comes along !) Are their hotels close enough, so that I would be able to park the tow rig, park the trailer, and just travel back and forth in the Zuk ? My Zuk doesn't even resemble street legal BTW, but I do have a green sticker ! lol
Or would I have to tow back and forth ? If thats the case, might look into a tow bar so I can unload the trailer and just flat tow "to and from" .

[phloop]

RP-Zuki has some of the same questions I have. I'm going to have to camp out in a hotel as I can't bring both the TT and the car trailer with the Zuki on it. Please keep us posted on hotel info.


When this gets closer us PNW guys need to make plans to head down together.

[RP-Zuki]

^^ I'm down, I am basically on the way, so we can meet somewhere and drive the rest of the way. Maybe JK-Fab will join up with us and head down as well. Live real close by to me.

[billsbar]

I guess I have the same question about hotels and distance. I don't see being able to afford to drive the RV down there so if I can make it it would be trailer and tow vehicle.

[Rock-Alliance]

i should have my rig ready and 2 more rigs to come along

This is AZ, we drive open buggies on the highway. They have plates and all but yea town is really close to Dead Horse so you won't be far away. The cops are super cool about the Suzuki parades that weekend.

I'll leave my girl at home so I can flirt with the strippers!
How many days is it? If it is more than 10 I will bring my RV, otherwise I will drive the Sami and bring a tent. My tow rig eats as much gas as my RV. LOL.

[ack]

After doing some serious 'puter cypherin' I figured out where Dead Horse Ranch State Park is.

Here are two maps that should help you:

The guys from oregon talked about driving down and meeting up with us. Then all rolling down in one big crew. I am up for whatever. I am towin my junk down, and am in for sure (already making plans and arrangements). :dance:

[JPR Ram]

Well, I'll going. I'm gonna plan on using some vaca time. I'm coming from SoCal. Maybe some other SoCal guys might wanta hook up and caravan out????? Once there, all's I need is a cleared area to camp in. You know....."have camper, will travel/camp".... what ever.

[phloop]

I'm still planning on heading down. Going to have to build up the vacation as it looks like it will be a two week trip.

[geckocycles]

Jeezzzzzz No strippers! I don't want to have to bring my G-Friend unless there will be at least a big boob contest with a buggy for first prize. She requires the RV too. She is not a cheep date. She likes the toilet, TV/Internet and AC thing.

Looks like only 700 miles each way. MY says gas will be $1/gal by then. That makes it $187 round trip for gas which I can cover and MY will cover the rest if it goes over.
It would also mean not wheelin for a month prior to make sure Sami is all together. That should be worth an extra $5000 which MY will cover also.
Or I can do it all for a cold beer!

I don't know if I can wait to go. Better head on over there this month.

[RedWolf]

Finally... A west cost run :jumping: Is there someplace I can park the Motorhome?

I'll take hookups if they have them but I'm equipped with all the commodities for Boondocking as well. I'll talk to Nelson (your newest customer), I'm sure he'll be interested as well.

We're just gonna have to figure out how to work in this run and a Moab run before it gets too hot.

Sounds like a great time for sure :happy

[dadstoybox]

man I want to try and make this run

[zorproducts]

Pretty soon we will have all kinds of info. Dead Horse State Park does have some RV hook ups but not in all 5 sites. We will be looking for other places to accommodate just about everyone.

[phloop]

Good to hear. I have the time off and looking fowards to this. By the way, that sounds like a fairly large park with what, 5 sites?lol Good thing I will need to find a room to stay in.

Yeah, we did a little exploring while I was down there a few weeks ago. Me and 114 degrees don't get along too well, but me and the Naked Turtle, and the desert bar get along just fine!!!

[ROKZUKI]

The temp is dropping fairly quickly. The temp isn't so bad from the lake with beer in hand. Come November its all about offroading and shooting guns..

Try some of these out. http://www.youtube.com/user/thorson404This is my son Ryan and some of his Jeep friends. Brutal and Smasher2 are the toughest trails during ZP. Because of the Head Hearder coming out with Itsmejoe & LA1 Performance I have been thinking about going another 50 miles to do Matrix with them and some other buggies.

My, I know some of these guys are scared of real wheeling (and passing it off like its their kids who are scared ! whip 2finger ) but I'd appreciate some harder wheeling, more extreme trails and such. My junk should be linked by then, and I am always down to wheel, roll and break. Plus, I might be heading down with a couple pretty capable POS's.

Damn, Matrix trail looks BAD !!!! Hot damn ! Have you run that whole trail My ?

[magnum ink]

Gregg and I would be interested in coming down, unfortunately the buggy is no longer street legal. Would the Matrix even be an option for us to get to with a tow rig?popcornn

I had heard AZ was a little more lax on buggies and enforcing some of those laws....

[zorproducts]

If your buggy has a plate it is legal here in AZ. Open wheels and all. The DOT just doesn't like full Hydro front steering or Beadlocks but we will be in a small town with lots of friends on the PD. Matrix is always available. We will be inviting everyone with buggies for a Monday run that is usually when most bail outta town anyways. Most guys head south and drive right by Table Mesa so if they have not broke everything we will have a good turn out on Matrix. A 1.5 mile trail that takes 2.5 hours per rig. 6 of the Nastiest obstacles in AZ. 2 monster waterfalls. The Gatekeeper, if you can't get through there you can't go on as it is the beginning of the trail. Spiderhole, The Gap, and the Exit.

Heck, you are doing better with the "green sticker" than us. Nevada gives you an option....plate or no plate! For some reason they do not like the buggy enough for a darn plate.

Towing it will have to be!

Not that the event coordinators have enough on thier plates aleady...but out of towner information would be great!

[RP-Zuki]

The green sticker is just another reason for them to get some cash outta ya !

Magnum, you plan to be camping out the whole time or what ?? any idea ?

...not definite plans as of yet. Hoping to get some more details from the group as the event date gets closer.

Gregg is looking for the hard stuff and with the buggy not being plated/street legal he needs to know what the options are.

Either way, we will be there for the event...even just to bring donations!!!

Any hotel preferable ? nicer ? Closer ? Open to a tow rig + trailer + Sami ?? Lastly, do you think, if I stay in a hotel, I will be able to simply drive the samurai out to meet with you ? Or you think I will need to tow it ? Keep in mind, my samurai looks nothing like "street legal".

Cottonwood takes all of 4 minutes to drive through town. The PD is friendly to our cause and we will be given a "pass" on rigs that weekend. FYI AZ allows open wheeled buggies on the Hiways and roads. Preferably with a license plate or ORV sticker. Any "illegal" rigs have to stay in line when we drive through town. We meet at big locations for head counts and then depart from there. The farthest trail is Broken Arrow in Sedona which is the most scenic area in all of AZ. About 30 miles from Cottonwood. We usually take the back roads.

The Hotels listed are all within a few minutes of the meet up areas.

I am counting on Benji, ItsJoe, Bobby, JR88 showing up. I would suggest all you guys get together if your staying at Hotels.

Absolutely Suzuki based but open to all 4x4 rigs. There is a wide selection of trails. If your baja can climb ledges 6 feet high you can try Smasher1, Smasher2 & Brutal.

any major malls close by and are the roads paved :funny:

[WileECoyote]

Is there going to be problems with rigs that are not licensed? I will be towing mine to the trail heads, since I can't go over 25 mph. My driveshafts are homemade, and start vibrating at 25. some day I will break down and buy some good ones.

Going 25 through town is a good idea. There is one stretch of 2 lane hiway where the limit is 50 but I figure it will be bumper to bumper with rigs so your good. Some of the more distant trails like Broken Arrow in Sedona you may want to tow to but our plan is to take back roads and stay off the main hiway between Cottonwood and Sedona. On Monday when alot of people go to Matrix (about an hour away from Cottonwood) Trailers will be the way to go. We can't get a permit from the Highway Patrol for buggies on Hiway 17.

I have picked my first vacation at work to make the trip to Zookapalooza '09!

Lookin' forward to a different kind of offroading scenery!

I'll be doing the insane thing again and driving what I wheel. Is there anything that I need to get permit-wise for my Missouri-inspected/plated Samurai in order to drive off road in Arizona?

what the hell, I am in, I will load up the posse and head west for a week or two. I live on interstate 40 just 1200 miles past that exit. if the goat dont die and gas stays resonable looks like that might be the venue to sport the new zukikrawler beadlocks for the first time.
gonna be camping and once again will be looking to camp next to freinds, might even be able to be peruaded to help cook if need be, in exchange for a little juice for my fan.

anyone ever stayed in one of those cabins at the park? when are people getting there? I will be coming in early and will be staying about 8 days so probably come in on the sunday before memorial day and leave out on memorial day.
who will be around for that time span?
thinking about reserving one of them cabins for the week.

[ack]

Depending on how things go, I'll be leaving Kansas City no later than the monday before and leaving the day after Memorial day.

My main concern - since I am doing the drive what I wheel deal - i'm trying to survive the trip by taking small chunks of driving/sightseeing per day. Anyone ever seen the biggest ball of string exhibit?

Also, I am looking forward to a nice jaccuzzi room when I get there. It's gonna be twice the distance of a ZM trip so I don't want to feel like I had the crap beat out of me by the time I get there...

I usually don't even camp there as it is only 15 miles from the house. With all the other vendors coming I am pretty sure I will spend a night or 2 over at the park.

No one has ever come in that early. I start going over Wednesday to take out the early birds on Smasher at night.

From Deadhorse or Cottonwood it is about 8 miles of pavement and 8 miles of dirt to park the trailers than another 3 miles to the beginning of Smasher1 & 2 or Brutal. Those are the big buggie trails.
Smiley Rock is fun in a buggy that is about 6 miles from camp. MY's Revenge is the farthest (other than Matrix) from Deadhorse but still in the Verde Valley. IF you have never been to Broken Arrow (22 miles from DH), you are going to want to go if you want scenic pictures of your buggy up on 100' tall rocks.

ANy fee's to the trails My ? Any fees to partake in the event ? raffles ? Just trying to figure out all the money. Still gotta finish the Zuk up so it can make it.

Ok, scratch the cabin idea. Looks like I am reserving a room. Damn it !

[Neonnut]

anyone know if all the cabins are takin at Dead Horse Ranch State Park ? im going to call tomorrow and try to get one..

My... i got a question about the entrance fee thing ... do i buy 2 if me and the wife want a shirt and meal ?


i really hope i can get the zuki running good going to get an ele fan and new radiator soon i want a myside b4 i go cause this stalling out at inclines is really starting to piss me off.

also on these trails and stuff is there good (easy) places to get to and park and watch (video & photo) i dont think i will be driving the zuki too hard (being mostly stock) also gotta flat tow it home (600+ miles) and with the family cant get too crazy..

i cant wait to go it will be so much funn and nice to get away from whats around me ... nothing but sand .... sand dunes get real old after a few years...

You will have plenty of opportunitys to drive open ranges, long winding scenic trails, I even have a perfect historic trail "old stage coach and whore house/post office trail" for stock Samurais that is one of my favorite "stock" trails in the Verde Valley.

Just you Dog, it is always you.

JPR Ram, In order for the ZOA club to allow ZP09 to be controlled outside the club royalty it was mandatory that the club had access to the camp site they have always had. Like all clubs, ZOA has lots of members and most are inactive or MIA until ZP and then they show up. The Raven Loop is so crammed this year with ZOA (most ever) it is going to look like a refuge tent city. Even if we could bend the rules, there is no room. We made a super great contact this year with a Park supervisor and there is a possibility if all goes well that the Park will let us reserve another Loop for ZP10. They have never ever made that offer to anyone, so we will see. If they did, they projected to lose about $4,000 in Park revenues by letting us have it for the weekend. All this depends on the final body count and general behaviour of the crowd we expect to have in the Park Saturday night for the big dinner and giveaway. IF you read this far, good for you. Send the money now or it will be far more expensive when you arrive at the gate. We have deadlines to meet for T-shirt counts and other things. To encourage early payment there is a discount. We are having the dinner catered so not to be a burden on Redbeard (the Nations best traveling cook). The list of Vendors donations is looking awesome and I personally plan on doing a few thousand $ in ZOR products.

I lined up a trailer today from a friend so I can trailer my rig, no way to drive it up there.

Checking the camping equipment.

Will be sending $$$$$$$$$ soon so I can get shirt, eats, raffle ticket etc!!:dance:

FYI the Raven loop was sold out weeks ago. Camping at Deadhorse is now entirely up to when you arrive. We found another close RV park so we will be posting that info up on the official ZP09 board soon.

Seeing as you are in AZ you should join ZOA (Zuksoffarizona.com) If you haven't all ready.

[redbeard]

Yea, I read through the threads and, from what I read, probably best to stay away from that crew that hangs out around the Raven Loop! :funny:

Read there is camping right across the road or walking distance to the Raven Loop. Plan on being there Wednesday to make sure I get a spot so I should be able to get a camping spot.

I hang out at ZOA also, not a big poster but getting better at it.

i have'nt seen anything about shirts yet.

[redbeard]

well maybe i am just confused, I will just have to buy some random commerative shirt to prove I was in arizona this year.


maybe something like

"loaded up and hauled but for 1200 miles to look at a big hole and cruise the finest malls arizona has to offer, and all I got was this shirt"

if the raven loop crowd spooks you, then you will want to keep your distance from the little daisy :mrgreen:

then again I have been known to roam, and I am sure I will spend a good bit of time at raven loop as well.

RB, there are shirts for the event. The one thing is they don't have childrens sizes from what MY told me when I last talked too him.


And you forgot to mention the sheeps.whip

[redbeard]

I didnt mention them but I just figured something like that would be a given.

We are doing kids sizes because Redbeard'soldlady said so!

Also women's cut "T"s.

The kid's sizes will be at the event (I am springing for about 30 to 40 of those).

[phloop]

Thanks MY. Put my name on a child size. He's at his mothers for now but I think he is a medium.

i'll be bringing my dual sport.was wondering if any of you guys were bringing your MCs(offroad)?
the only thing is if they are not street legal you will not be able to ride them in the park.

[redbeard]

my uncle is coming with me and we are hauling his MC but it is a road bike.

[AZJunk]

Can I ride your bike?

[madzukr]

myron took me to his testing trail and to say the least its unbelievable. it would be cool to have this trail as a buggy run for zp"o"10.the shop is very close for breakages but am guessing it will fullfill any buggy rockcrawling itch anyone from anywhere has.i felt like i was driving on and surrounded by yugo's in rock form and didnt make it a third ways in due to time restictions.i am glad i could blame my wife for having to get back as the next obstacle looked like i needed to get out the helmet and man diaper.

[redbeard]

maybe I better step up to some 32"s

MYRON'S NIGHTMARE has changed quite a bit since I last was on it. Somehow a few big boulders have moved upstream. I tried to get it on the 09 schedule but it is in Camp Verde, about 16 miles from Deadhorse State Park. As usual it rejected another Samurai rig that was with us. Lonnie has open difs and couldn't get past the entrance. It is just a long technical canyon, no waterfalls just well placed rocks. Oh, no exit either.

Nice ! Sounds fun ! bigok

I was just reading the handout that came in the goodie bag from ZP09. It says 4wd is required, seems like I followed an XJ that only had 2wd high.lol



By the way, he is looking for a SAmi now.bigok
