Update... Made it to the airport. Double checked all items. Car rental set for portland as well. iPhone 5 running smooth besides the loose battery. Still loving my new koolaid though.

Plane takes off in less than an hour. I'm so pumped.

No baby scalers. My sh!t made it fine. The TSA locks (2 per case ) turned into 1 per case when I arrived. That was $20 lost. Oh well, here's the opening of them...




I know wrong event but this hasn't started officially yet.

More unpacking.







Got out and saw a bunch of other toy truck nerds. . Even Quagmire was out cruising the halls.








Some people are really burning the midnight oil. Do work!!





Some even make great door stops.




Good luck...that needs to be running in hours.





That's all kids. Hopefully I'll try update a few from the rocks. I'm running both class 1 and 2 in the morning...wait, in like 7 hours.



ZZzzzzzzzz.....

Ok, last up load before some Zzzzzzz's. Batteries are charged, rigs are ready. Had a great day on the rocks. I finished every course in both classes. The running was tough, the lines were challenging. My Taco with 4 wheel steering was working flawless, too bad I haven't had some wheel time to drive it better.

Some scale goodness for ya suckas who didn't make it. Weather was almost perfect, not sh!tty rain and cold. enough talking...pics.



























NO FISHY!!!

















And the TTC Contenders. Good luck guys.

Yup that's it. He sent it back due to poor craftsmanship. I fixed it up and let it collect dust for a few year

He probably wont send it back again next time.

Ok, sitting at the airport. I'm tired as hell, headache, backache and I was up til 3am trying to pack my stuff to go home. 2 extra rigs wasn't easy.

Norm (team36), thank you for the Teeny car.
Jon (highmark), thank you for the Scrambler.
They are in good hands.

So, how was the event? TOP SHELF FUN!!! The terrain was great, weather perfect, food tasty and lots of Toy truck nerds.

Tim, John and the local crew...you guys pulled off the greatest single event I've been to for a scalers. Courses were both challenging and fun. Some were a little easier, then turned the corner and wtf?

The organization, planning and overall was event was a 10!

The KOL starting from that bowl was PERFECT start my 1hr 45min dash to the finish. My running mate Chino helped me keep going, and it ended with me pulling him through the last 5 gates. . Sweaty, tired and abused...it was fun. Grizz, sorry your friends ditched ya.

I've got more great pics a couple fun videos but its. Gonna be a little bit...I'm gonna sleep for a week first.

Oh, thanks to homies the Utards for all the help.


Thank you, excellent event!


Oh, don't forget the best damn light bars and scale accersories around....MadDog RC...get some!!!
