It was an awesome time!!!!!! The course was tough in a lot of spots. good bit of winching. All in all it was a great time. Good job setting course up. can't wait for the next one.

had a great time at the event. and it was a huge success. thank you to all the contestants who showed and participated. Also huge thanks to Ron (Kunas) and his family for hosting the event. the burgers and dogs were great. I really like the potato salad.

Thank you to all the vendors who were able to participate and supply some awesome prizes for the contestants.

We started the day with 5 teams of 3, and from what i remember only three teams were able to complete the race. There was a lot of attrition from everything from tranny failures to water getting in just the right spot. The course was very technical and very scale. Ron and friends did a great job building huge scale mud pits, jungle passes, creek crossings (more than anyone could count), a pulley operated floating bridge!, and numerous winch hills and axle twisters.

As the pictures and videos come in post to your liking. If you took pictures dont be shy and put them up here. There is some video coming, but just needs to be edited for content.

Congrats to the winning Team of Kunas, Gabe, and Chris M. they completed the course in just under 3 hours and 30 minutes. Also congratulations to the teams who were able to complete the course. this was def a very technical course that without teamwork would not have been possible. Winches and tow straps were tested to their limit all day.

The original plan was to have a course that would take about an hour to complete, but at the end of the day we quickly realized it would take closer to 3-4 hours.

here are some preliminary pics of the contestants walking the course. It took about 45 minutes just to walk the course and show all the obstacles!

sellenks sami accidently slipped in the creek, me being the friend that i am i dropped mine in the creek to make sure he didnt need help,well after about 30 minutes we finally managed to get them both out well sellenk was driving toward the gate and he took a wrong turn and droppd his sami in the mudpit by accident of course again as a friend i had to go in and make sure he was alright, bottom line we both ended up getting pulled out and the field looks like a big mudpit, when we were stuck our buddy mj comes flying across the field to check on us and he couldnt stop in time his pathfinder slid right into the mud as well and he had to do 3-4 laps around field (i think his trottle stuck) cause he seemed like he was going to fast in the mud and sliding all around everywhere anywho we are all fine and all 3 1.1 managed to live for another day, videos of mudbogging coming u shortly
