Special thanks to Mike (sar sammy), Cricket and Scott(?) our medical team. We kept them busier had we had planned.

A round of applause to the judges and staff, you did a great job.

Thanks to Donner Ski Ranch, we'll see you again in September:D

And last but not least, we should give a standing ovation to the 4 teams who put in a great show at a pretty high cost.....

If you missed this event, you miss something that will never be the same.

brandon.. troy didnt have a bend to the bars coming from the floor to the back of the cab.. normally they match the bend from the windsheild to the top.. but because of that roll.. it turned it into a straight bar

Theres a lot more pictures like that one. What happened to this not being a rollover course Rich? How did you even say that with a straight face at the drivers meeting?:rolleyes: It was fun though and I hope we get to do it again.:D

I need pics cause I don't get what you are saying ;)

I'm stealin these from Jade over at RCRC, some of the baddest pics I have seen!

Damn you guys took alot of pics......sweet.

Great event, thanks to everyone involved and special thanks to Tinbender for blowing out his colon saving my rig from an endow. Hope everything is working OK Rob.
I may have to think about coming back in September.

I want to lay down a huge thanks from the Sierra Rock Crawlers for the fun at the event. The courses were hard, the action was intense, and all the teams were great to compete against.

A BIG thanks to the other teams, Tin Benders, Pirates, and URJB for the friendly and challenging competition, and contribution to helping keep the Rubicon trail alive. Another BIG thanks to everyone else involved from BigRich for leading the organization of this event, the helpers during the event, the crowd for coming out and supporting the teams and fun, and of course all the sponsors that helped make it happen.

Four out of the five trucks we entered wound up rolling during the competition, but we had a blast and continued on afterwards at Fordyce despite the carnage where the rollovers continued anyway ;) .

Thanks again and hope to see you next year when it will be SRC's turn to take home the CFTC title :D

I've seen a lot of things in my life, but that was AWSOME!!!!!!!

I had a BLAST!!!!!!!

THanks everybody!!!!!!

We gotta do that again, totally cool!!!!!

WHO WON????

The event went way better than I had hoped. There were a ton of people, and the teams were FULLY getting it! Congrats to the Tin:skull:Benders for the victory. You guys deserve it. :beer:

Sweet they earned it...
I thought that POR would take it after yours and roggies run lance.
What were the rest of the standings??????

I would like to add my thanks BIG RICH and the crew for the course and the event !!
Even tho I was 7th alternate for the Benders, and didn't run- still I was ready if needed, ( just unload Krusty's U-Haul ) and ready!!
The Pirates are a class act and it was again a thrill to compete with them. :beer: :skull: :skull: :skull: This year it was our turn !
