Well My Wraith has been under the knife since the last race, so I haven't been able to log any drive time on it. I've been working on it every night this week in hopes of having it finished in time to test it out before next weekend.

I can't wait till next weekend!! I love going out to Desert Mt, it's remote location along with some of the best terrain a crawler could ask for. This new spot should hopefully give us a bit more shad in the morning and evening hours and the camping spot looks to be a bit flatter so it might be easier on those bringing a tent.

I'm planning on heading out Friday afternoon and staying till Sunday

[Going Up!]

Im excited for the race!! Hopefully with the new revised rules, there wont be any issues this race!

I am going to be heading out saturday sometime, and I'll spend the night for the race on Sunday!

Making good progress on the Wraith but I have a lot to do before next weekend. I'm sure it'll be done but it might not be till Friday night
I hope not as that is a little close for comfort.

Man what a great weekend!! And yes I did get the Wraith finished up friday afternoon



I had a great time the race course was incredible. I thought it was going to be a little on the easy side when we walked it in the morning. It turned out to be pretty challenging and had me thinking twice on more than a few obstacles. Turned out to be one of the better courses we've ran IMO. The weather was a perfect 82* and sunny. I was surprised that many people drove well over 100 miles into the middle of the desert to play with toy trucks. Ruff head count was 33 rigs and I think 9 DNF's. I did see more drivers working together on course to help each other through some tough sections. I hope everyone that came out had fun

Scores will be up later

Here are the scores. The course wasnt necessarily hard, but I had way too many stupid mistakes. I needed to slow down, and pay attention. I will get better as I get used to my new powerhouse I have under the hood!
