That sucks. I guess you stole all the bad luck from us. There was a lot of breakage. I heard of a couple people that blew there engines, but nobody totaled their rig, this year. Not sure if you were still there when they posted the ranking but you got 15th. Chris ended up with 2nd in class 2 and Greg got 3rd in class two. Its pretty good that we got 2 teams in the top 3.

thats sweet, I got to see some of the runs and looked like they were doing well. I was purely outclassed. I think I'm done with that. Now if only they start a rock racing circuit, then I'm in again but this time with the CJ. Nice job guys.

Sorry to hear about your pinion Bill....and congrats to Greg...it was a pretty good day for him...along with a third place finish I heard his wife came home from the hospital today with the new born!!

It was a great day all together

I have to give props to my spotter Joe Milano....he did all our hard work...
and to Monster S10 Chris from SPP 4x4 for building the cage for me in time (what a great job he did)... and to Matt Elick and his family for driving me and my rig around all weekend.

I'll get the pics up soon.

what a cool video, tough break. I'm sure you saw the YJ in class 3 with the military axles. He got himself in quite a jam on course D1. looked like front axle was hooked over the end of the last bolder and the rear was hooked over the back of the last bolder. Couldn't go forward and couldn't go backwards and also had severely bent rear lower control arm on the passenger side. He had to winch off.

I just heard about the success and disapointments experianced at the RC Rocks this Saturday. First, I am sorry to hear about your situation Bill. I know you've worked hard to ready for this and the last thing you needed was to break your pinion. Seriously, don't you know how to wheel with out breaking, you are starting to sound like me, hehehehehe. By the way I like that pit crew man she is working hard isn't she?

As to Chris I called him earlier to say congratulations for your success,

you've done well grass hopper!, by next year you or Greg might be in first place. Greg, fantastic placement

. I am very proud of all who competed and spotted for the guys. Likewise to the supporting team too. Unfortunately you all know my situation. But I WILL be there for the June event, you can bank on that, even is I have to quit my job to do so. Well that might be a little drastic......

You all have raised the bar one more time for the club. Thank you! I do however, expect some serious pictures on this post....pleeeeeaaasesee. See you guys at the Chili's night this tuesday night!....it's to support the ADA fundraiser event of September 27 & 28th.

Congrats to everyone, looks like a good time was had by all.

I was judging B2 and Chris and Greg were two of the few that completed that course. Had a blast up there and Grateful Red was looking GREAT with the new cage.
