The Tech came in 5th place in the stock modified class. He had an insane roll off the top rope:

Good job lance, and I like the red better than when it was blue!
Scott

Dayum!!! Looks like I missed out on the action:( Well Lance, seeing as you tortured the CTM/Warn shafts and still came out #2, I'll be putting in my order this week and I'll start fine-tuning the CJ for Reno!!!! Definitely not missing that run!!!!

Yeah he did compete..... I believe he was in 6th or 7th place in the pro mods.....
:D

Thanks Art! I really wish I could have been there!!!! Way to go FATTY! I wanted to be there to root you awwn!
Scott

Congrats lance, we had to bail after you ran the first obstacle this morning, long drive back to Chico. That was a gnarly spill the tech took, but he finished the day after some minor remodeling of the front of his jeep. I had a blast this weekend, see everyone in 8 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeeze, Lance
And we thought you were just handsome! :eek:

Congratulations :beer:

Congrats on the good finish FB. How did the blue Yota flatbed do? (You know, the guy that tried to eat the lizard when he was Piss Drunk:D )

It seemed like the rear steer would've help a lot for the guys who have it. Those flags/gates were really close. Even gave Fatkid a good squeeze in the Zuk. I can't believe I missed it.
And what was up with the CTM stickers? I don't have any doubts about the CTM's, it's just that every rig I saw had one, even the guys with Birfield joints.:confused:

Did the guy with the stock maroon Land Cruiser ever roll? He said he was gonna roll it by the end of the day, wether on course or in the parking lot. Last I saw him, though, he had a busted birf, and was being winched around...

Nice pics, BTW.

Webdaddy takes charge good job.

Cant wait to see all of this in person--------RRRREEEENNOO!
I'll be there for that.
weldpro

CTM was one of the sponsors, hence the stickers...

That hood looks BADASS:D Did you change to expanded metal floorboards:eek: :eek: ?? How'd you like it??

The Fat Bastard, was, "AWN", today!!!
It was awsome to see, everything come together, and stay together all day long.

I got to watch Lance, a lot more than I wished I had too, (due to a very early DQ for time out on repairs on Saturday). On Saturday he was holding his own, but had a few, botched lines. One, that lead to an unexpected rollover, about 30 seconds into the 1st run. It looked like it would be a long day,...but he got better all day long, and made the cut, for the final (7), on Sunday.
Sunday was an entirely different story.
On course #1, Lance, pulled off a couple of nice, cutting brake turns, and powered up the 1st part of the hard climb. It looked like things were going good,... but then he was stopped after a couple of attempts to clear and straddle a notch at the top. So he jumps out of the rig and starts helping his spotter (Kevin Kelly) stack rocks, as the clock ticked down. It seemed like a Time Out was inevitable, when he jumped in, fired the cruizah, and mashed the pedal,..cleared the top, lined locked the rear, pivoted all the way to a nose down position facing the exit gate, gave it a quick blast on the throttle, straightend out, and mashed the pedal for a clean exit with 1 second left. It was awsome!
He followed number 1, with a (-5 point) spotter ride along, for a score on number 2 of - 4 (one back up). The rest of the day, was spent, just watching a driver (Lance) totaly in his element.
Way to Go Lance!( but where was the speech?
:flipoff2: ) Hahaha.
Good luck at Farmington!! GET IT!!

Congrats Lance :D:D:D:D.

i guess we should not have been laughing at how funky that blue rig was build on sunday morning :flipoff2: congrats.

looking good guys..........where are the video clips? any taken? I like the rig red lance........congradulations on 2'nd..........:beer: :beer:

I thought Lance had Detroits f&r. If so, how did he make cutting brakes work? Did he upgrade to ARB's?

cutting brakes work fine with a detroit as long as you have a twin stick or some other way of getting front wheel drive.

Thumbs up Lance. Glad to hear the CTM's are holding it's own :)

Terry Sheetz's rig is still funky looking, even with the 1st place finish.
The ironic twist, is that Terry didnt actually make the final cut. John Bundarant would have been the 7th driver/team for the finals, but from what I understand, he injured his vertabrae, durring a hard landing, on one of the obstacles, and could not continue. So Terry came in as the next best score. He and his spotter did a great job, of driving that ugly duckling, and just eeked a few less points than Lance/Kevin on a couple of runs. I think Terry's team had the advantage of being right behind Lance as the 7th in the rotation,, and sure, seemed to mirror, nearly every sucessful manuever that worked for Lance. Im, not taking anything away, from their very good performance. In fact they did a good job of quitely getting through the gates, with almost no crowd pressure. ( on obstacles 1 - 3) The majority of the crowd, would move to the next obstacle, before they would even get started, and they would have a great run, with almost no one watching.
Then suddenly, by course #5, they had moved, into the lead, and had control of their own destiny.
It was deffinitely tight at the end.
Lance, also missed the $1000 dash for cash, with a minus 5, by only a few seconds, behind a great run by Troy Faber.
It was great weekend.

Damn, you turned over and still made 2nd place? Awesome!!!

Congrats, you deserve it!!

Damn is Durham still driving all the way from South Carolina for all of these events??

Lance, how much does the cruzah weigh? It's looking like it went on a diet...

Tin Bender and I placed 7th in the Modified Stock Class.:)

Yeah, the 7th place effort, that you and TB teamed up on, was excelent. Your dash for cash, was only a few HP shy of being the upset of the weekend. And, the new Sami mods, looked very trick,......but I know what really made Fat Kids weekend. :eek:
You should have seen, the ear to ear smile, on Fat Kids face,..when a group of kids came up to him, and him to autograph their programs, I wish I would have had my camera( I coulda even got Fat Kid to maybe autograph the pic for me).:D

Good Job Jerry, see ya in Reno.

so was Randy Ellis there? i really would like to know how his new 4 wheel indep. buggy is working.

I am currently uploading about 150 pics... Stay tuned! :D

Lance,

Great to hear that the CTM's/Warns are holding up! I just put mine in and am testing them out @ the Tank Trap on the 23rd.

When you broke those Warn's in your write-up did they hook you up with a replacement for free?

Dig the red, too bad the tank lost it's color!

-Jack

congradulations, good to see you did well.....

I should ahve my pictures up in a few days......all 72 of them:D

I just posted 80 pictures from calrocs this weekend. See them on the All Pro site at...

This doesn't look like a safe place to be standing.

Well that's Camo for ya, there is nothing safe about Camo!

hey Chris, what's up with Jon's back ? he ok ?

- jack

Jon Broke two vertebrae in his back. It was a compression fracture from landing too hard. He is in a lot of pain and will be for about 3 months. Doctors say he will be ok once they heal. Jon was in 7th place the first day but was unable to drive Sunday.

anyone know what Kevin Hawkins (first in stock mod) was driving in the event? possibly a black wrangler?

Ya right, try Currie's Red Jeep...:rolleyes:

It's not the "fireant" he used the RockyRoad, or RockyRed. What ever they call that thing. But he had the some pretty trick shat.

Congrats Lance to you and all of the other Nor-Cal crew for seriously kicking ass!! Hope everything is cool with Ron? What happened to welderslut he said he was going to win..J/K Did he use his rear steer at all?? He had said he would try not to if poss.!! Yeah right!!..LOL

OOOHHH yeah....I like the RED!!...GET IT!!!!

The suspension did not matter, he landed right on the frame. It actually split the frame on that toy. HARD HIT. There was lots of carnage.

I'll say my rig took a pretty good beating. The fiberglass hides the damage. but if you look close, ITS HAMMERED. I had to jack the front hoop of my cage up because it was at eye level. (couldn't see so good). I rolled twice the first day. Once over forwards. the second was a barrel roll. had a great time though.

Still has Detroits. However, the front has practically been worked into being a spool by now. Nevertheless, the cutting breaks are from the twin shifter. He really only locks out the whole rear and spins it around.

That was one of the problems Grady and I had. The Atlas would not work. So all we had was manual cutting breaks. Which doesn't compare when you have both options you are more adaptable to each obsticle/terrain.

I would just like to say that john is my new fawking hero for going down that rock face in the dark...They would have had to pry me off the seat after that
