Goblinfest 2025

[Markm]

The wife and I are booked at the ozark rv park again for this year. Depending on the weather we will drive it.

 

[Lonny]

I was intending on staying in the trailer
It’s insulated and has ac and heat.
I’m going tomorrow or Saturday to grab a couple donuts to see if I can make it fit unless someone here tells me the width of the front lug studs is over 64.5”
I’ll measure after swapping the wheels.


@Lonny any insider info on availability of ethanol over 78% near you ? If none I may haul down a tank and could offer to share with others if desired.

Not sure about E85 and as far as getting it here you could flat tow it.

 

[Gtstorey]

There is an app for locating E85 stations.

We had a pretty bad thunderstorm early this morning so setting up generators has delayed my day a bit but I will put the pizza cutters on and try to fit it in the trailer today sometime
If it won’t fit I’ll have to either order the tow bar kit and hope it gets here in time to install it or rent a flatbed for $35/day or be adventurous and just drive the goblin down lol.

I brought 2 fuel cans with me when I went and only had to make one trip to refill. I don't remember the name of the town, but there was a Casey's with E85 about 35 minutes away.

Would anyone have an open passenger seat for Goblinfest? My father is planning to ride into town with us instead of hauling his Miata like last year. His co-rider (my uncle) got married so he's wrapped up with all that stuff and isn't attending.

Wifey will be with me again, so the goblin will be full. Sorry.

If I’m still able to make it I will be alone


I was able to get the goblin in the trailer last night. It was a tight squeeze but if it fits it ships

1 inch plywood, cut into 24 inch diameter circles, with the correct bolt pattern drilled (oriented to the center, obviously), could be used to roll it in and out - possibly without the need of the jack? The lug studs would still be the wide point and would make your Goblin look like it belonged to the Flintstones.

Someone please do this... hahaha.

the lug studs were touching on both sides
There is no room for a lug nut

for some reason in my head I picture a plywood wheel burnout burning smoke in reality it would probably just rapidly disassemble the plywood.

there’s only one way to find out.

My brother and I are hoping to make it down this year, let’s hope for good weather!

Plane ticket purchased, car rented, and room reserved! I’ll be there. I’m excited to finally see a completed Goblin in person!

Seven years ago in 2018, two Goblins met with the Midwest Seven, and then meeting a couple times a year. Come join in if you can, it's been a great seven years!!

Sounds familiar.

Sounds familiar.

So if you, Chad, was one goblin, who was the other goblin? This first get together was the year before I attended. I guess Dale attended with one of his toys?

 

[Dale E]

Chad, Kaleb, Lonny and Brenda were the two Goblins. Some video in Events forum from then.

 

[pisco]

A handful of us are staying here

but anywhere in town is fine. It’s a pretty small town.

A room opened up and I reserved it just now. Looks like I don't have to sleep in the trailer after all...
