I thought the event was great even though I sucked. Most of us in the upper class looked at the rocks and wanted something more difficult, as it turns out the rocks were much harder than we thought. Many trucks only got the front wheels up and then were stuck or broken.

As an event I am sure we will see more like this. It was good for the drivers and good for the spectators. I plan to be back next time! A big thanks to Rich for pulling this together.

Your welcome and it will be my pleasure to put on more.

Now if I can only find a place that will keep the rocks there so we can do it more often.

I have connections for some of those guys. We had one actually bog his monster & bury it this past Sunday. Burned up his tranny, caught it on fire. Good show :D

Here's another of the regulars at my races, Mike Maurath. Pic from truckworld.com

He used to hold the class record, but it's now 1.901 seconds for 125' of mud :D Mike Lane from Botkins, OH is the current record holder.
