derekmac Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Something I've wondered too, but never really thought to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'll chime in sometime with my version, and there will be some other perspectives. Gotta go pay attention to the missus right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 And oh, despite the name of one of Tom's posts, check the website name, it's spelled 'Backcountry'. But it has bounced back and forth and is always up for debate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 lol - we actually had a club meeting where we voted on the official spelling and it was decided "Backcountry". We rebranded the whole site after that meeting to make it consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 There was a 4x4 club called Xtreme 4x4 club (iirc), I still might have a sticker on the burb! Meetings were at a member's garage in Sackville. One of the main members of the club was Art McNeil (iirc). The club did some great runs, and often had a BBQ fund raiser during the runs. Many of the main members were involved in the BF Goodrich slalom, etc series. So some thought the club was all racing. I had a good time with the club. Anyway, the club members that were not involved in racing split off and started Backcountry. Me included. Presidents come and go, some more effective than others, membership numbers rise and fall, more due to demographics and not the presidents, imho. I think the club is well involved in the Ledwidge Lookoff Rally, the Spryfield Xmas parade / Santa float, and maybe some other things. Membership is a bit low at times as well, but we're still here! I hope the club remains strong. And we'll be here when we have to speak for reasonable lift laws, maybe help during a crisis like the Jeep SWAT group, if someone like Peterson's Ultimate Adventure ever came this way would they contact us as the knowledgeable local club, field test new Raptor's? Who knows. And that is my observation, for what it's worth, and it keeps me happy. And I like the club. And the members in it. And the website/forum!

sar4x4 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 And nothing against the Jeep club. But since I don't drive a Jeep, I'm glad there is a local all-makes club, us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the vast differences in types of rigs people wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
