That is a pretty bad ass track. It is kind of like European rally meets compcrawling. I like it.

Its the easyest way to bring together MOAS , Shaftys and Rockracers in one race! FUN! We will try to make another one in the Snow this winter!

How is winner determined? Is it all based on time? Penalty points?

That is cool. I'd like to see some races like that in my neck of the woods. But I think there should be some penalties for role over and having to use your hands to unstick your vehicle. Otherwise people would just launch over obsticals and go flip it back over having a faster time.
But honestly I don't care as long as everyone is having fun.

The spare is in...
Well, not with his upport but i had to make a compromise, cause i wanted to mount that cool Axial Exo radiator!
Thats why i squeezed it in and created a tie down strap-system seen on many Ultra4 rigs:

Rock-lights installed:






I painted the Griffin radiator in aluminum-silver:






The roof is in the works, i cut some lexan and will bolt the lightbar to it, so i can make a 2nd roof without the Led-bar for crawling and flipping over...

Hammer looks killer can't wait to see the new roof. Was wondering if you hand any more pics of your radiator install. These hammers are a lot of fun.

What did you use for the rock lights? I'm thinking about doing a pair up front for night runs.
