I had a great time helping out and hope to do it again next year..
The team we put together was pretty unorganized,we made our plans the night before around the campfire..none of the drivers or crew had a gps..just the maps that were handed out and some knowledge of the area.. but we ended up doing a pretty good job (I think)
who we were supporting
Mustard Dog/Bender (4wheel parts)
Desertoy/AirRide (Marlin Crawler)
Hobie/??? (Trail Gear)
80proof/his bro (Tool Chassis)
All Hendrix chassis's
The Crew
Flash/Mark
Me/Tommy
Jeff and friends
Mike/H.T.
Mike Gorman
Don
Jimmy James
5 of 7 were Hendrix chassis's
sorry If I forgot anyone

You guys might think you were unorganized, but from where I was sitting everything went off without a hitch. Awesome job, we obviously couldn't have done it without the support, thanks:)
Mark and flash did a great tire change for us, super fast. We rolled up and they pulled thier rig into posisition, hooked the top of the cage with thier winch and pulled us up on two wheels to make the change :smokin:

the only monkey wrench that was thrown into the cogs was the last minute pit change for me to go from going to 2 then to 12 to going to 5 then to 12. when i was coming up the was trying to get to 5 i had a buggy come around the corner i had to bail out up the was wall.... but it ended up putting us in a great spot for a pit stop!!!
a BIG thanks to mark for letting me use his rig for this!!!!
thanks everyone else it iwas a blast...
i also ended up changing a tire for carrie on her yellow rover... then on my way to 12 i found jeff mello and changed his tire for him also. glad i could be there!

Thanks to all who helped us get through this event. You guys Rock. We were able to tell by listening to the raidio exactly where everyone else was and what problems they were having. It was great!
