I can't belive I didn't have my camera this weekend!!! I left my camera in my car that I DIDN'T drive to an event in Pueblo. What a bone head! Anyway...we built a totally custom rock course. We brought in TONS of rock. We then built a reinforced wood frame to gain height to the course, rather than move dirt into mounds. It is about 4 feet high with a rock tunnel. The course is SICK!! Very tough!!! What I really wanted the camera for was to take pics of some of the trucks. Possibly the most impressive looking rig was a custom. I can't describe the beastliness of this thing. He's still working the bugs out and he finished it while we were building the course but the thing uses custom tubed portal type axles, heim joints from a CJ 7 clutch kit and Emaxx running gear with Savage shocks and a custom cage built into the chasis. The links and heim joints are simply HUGE. I will do write ups on some of these in a week or two.
There were other custom Emaxxes, etc. We will be meeting again soon and I will NOT forget my camera! There are some MUST see rigs. As always, Ron and Troy used their impressive caged Emaxx's and I can't say enough about how well their ultra low gears rigs work!
Carnage for the day was only on my Digler....I snapped the Boner Bar clean off!!!
I promise pics next time.
Anyone in Colorado that want's to attend the next run in Pueblo, contact me soon!

Sounds cool, how bout some pics?

I had my camera loaded up in my Rover and I wound up taking the Benz. I totally forgot that it was in the other car!!! I was kicking myself when I got there and realized how stupid I was!!!

The good thing is that my digital camera also takes digital mpg movies up to 2 hours long!! I should be able to get movies and stills next time.

I can take very high res. vids but I would have a problem sending a 20 mb file.

No way, just burn it to a CD...they'll hold 700MB.
