Ok, we started off the day with some of the baddest wheelin' ever... We nearly aced obstacle A1 which killed everyone. Nobody but us was able to escape this obstacle without hitting a flag. It was a GREAT start to a torturously blistering HOT day. Then our luck quickly changed for the worse, and on ostacle two we got the front end wedged into a crack. I didn't notice the extent of the bindage, and POW, front axle. 5 seconds later trying to get the vehicle out in 3 wheel drive, POW, there goes a REAR axle! :eek:

Needless to say, we didn't finish that obstacle. Our awesome "pit crew" went to work and had the vehicle repaired completely in less than 15 minutes! Shane and Ozzy ROCK!

Trying not to let our 40 point breakage affect the rest of our day, we fully got it the rest of the day, and finished the day with 46 points.

Here's how the point standings look after day one on course A:

1st: Ken Shupe - 26 points
2nd: Mike Shaffer - 46 points
3rd: Curt Hildebrand - 75 points
4th: Walker Evans - 83 points
4th: Jason Paule - 83 points

There was TONS of carnage today. One of the roughest courses ever. The horribly hot weather made it almost unbearable for us spotters.

Damn to snap two axles on one obstacle with zuk "power"...that must have been ugly. Congrats on your great start and good luck tomorrow! As a zuk owner...I JUST LOVE IT!!!!

Did you guys crawl this? That's impressive. :smokin:

I love the picture lance, you really earn your pay out there!

The last shot looks like you are throwing up:eek:

Good job guys, but I got to give it up for Ken Shupe! he's a Southern boy that's kick'n ass. Shupe deserves more respect in these comps, he said at the last EROCC that if he didn't get a sponsor for next season he wasn't going to run the RCAA circuit because of the $$$ it takes:( this guy can GET IT! Lance what do you think about Ken's buggy? It's light, has power, and Dana 60 beef:D
