I wanted to give props to slowrocker for his driving and determination at the XRRA event this Saturday. That guy has got guts and ba***! On his 3rd run which he was first up on the reverse course, he shot out the gate like his skull was on fire and preceded to launch a 20ft or bigger double step up and then a triple step up. One of the most FREAKING AWESOME THINGS i've ever seen. Way to go for it slowrocker. That was my Dad and my first event and all we kept doing was looking at each other and saying "These guys are nuts and this is Awesome", Got to check another one of those out for sure.

I unfortunately missed Bastards runs, I just didn't know what his ride looked like (besides being moon buggy) or where his pits were, my bad. I hope he did well though and hope to get to see him in the future.


Edit: 10th place, way to go Aaron and Jason!

Great pictures Rubbaneck (Jay) and Bender (Brad) and Tmyjeeper (Tim)

Also thank you to Grizzly (Chris), for taking a pic of my Dad and me, because I'm a tard and forgot the camera for the first trip in. Thanks Bro!

I'll go through the 160+ photos tonight and I'll upload them for all to enjoy. Man what a sweet day!! The sun burnt my neck and the sand kicked my arse but it was awsome watching those rigs just get after it.

I just uploaded the video to YouTube, but it's not showing up. I'm guessing it's because of the profanity in the song I used. Google video doesn't work for me anymore either. I'll try and find a way to get it uploaded as is. I really don't want to re-do the whole thing just for the song.

Thanks for the props Stew, we really try hard with what we have. Glad you enjoyed the show. I'm still in awe at our engine, I woulda swore it would have locked up making an all out run with zero engine coolant.
That step up was interesting to say the least. Darn trans didn't want to shift to 3rd till the last second. I was just about to back out and it shifted so I went for it. I'm pretty sure that's what weakened the output on the T case. We had 4 wheel drive up the stair steps and it finally let go on that monster wall. Not bad for a stock Dana 300, 1.5 years of trail bashing and 2 years of rock racing
We have alot of work ahead of us in the next 5 months. Gonna have to build a new car, this chassis is tweaked I have some pics I'll post up tonite for now it's back to that thing they call work :-(

Good stuff Brad, the music was right on man. That shot of Jason shooting through the mini grand like a bat out of h*** was the shiznit. If he wouldn't have had that little bobble on the spider trap, that would have been one of the fastest runs.
