As some of you might know, I have read EVERY SINGLE post of EVERY SINGLE thread! No.. it's not because i dont have a job or a life, the honest answer is because i have a passion for off-road racing and want to learn everything about our great sport. Although my "join date" says 2007 ive been lurking on this site since 2003. RDC has not only gave me some great insight about our sport but it has also brought me some great friends along the way....
so what ive done is compiled some of the treads here that are a) good reading b)useful information that sometimes gets passed by c) threads that helped develope where RDC is today.
HOPE YOU ENJOY!!
(i know some of these threads are long reads, but PLEASE just take the time and read the entire thread and really think about what your reading)

...... and last but not least
the WTAR thread!!... many of you who have never been in that thread might think that it is just a bunch of RDC mess-offs, or just a bunch of people who have nothing better to do than to rack up a bunch of posts. I will be the first to admit that I was one of those people who thought that... I WAS WRONG!.. this thread is ABSOLUTELY epic and has done a lot of great things for RDC ... If you have the patients and open mindedness to read the ENTIRE thread (or even just from post 1,000 and on) you will realize that the WTAR thread is a big chapter of many peoples lives, and what it's done for RDC and the racing community is pretty special in its own right. Not only was i one of the ones that shuned the WTAR guys/gals i was also one of the ones that took the quest to read EVERY SINGLE POST!... and i still do... and i am now VERY proud to call each and every one of them my friends....

... i know there are MANY MANY threads that i have forgotten, these were just a few that came to mind when i thought about putting this together. so please forgive me if you find that this thread should include one that i have forgotten ... but in the same token, FEEL FREE TO POST A THREAD THAT HAS CHANGED RDC OR "THE FAMILY"!!
... lets try to keep this thread on topic(s) and leave the jibba jabba out so that people later on can take the same history lesson....
thanks in advance

ps... there are about 95% desert section threads in this post ... but there we just too many to choose from ..
