JOHN
HALL LEADS THE PACK AFTER DAY ONE WITH -37 POINTS! SHANNON
CAMPBELL IS ON HIS TAIL WITH -34 POINTS.
The
Battle for top honors at Cougar Buttes has been an epic
one. The Top scorers are mere points from a perfect score,
and are all within a few points of each other. Underdog
John Hall and Nick Hall are leading the pack by 3 points
after day one. The San Luis Obispo, CA brothers are ecstatic
to be leading after taking a 4 month break from rock crawling.

Interview
with John Hall, unofficial leader of the day:
Sam:
"How does it feel to be in 1st place, ahead of such
legends as Jon Bundrant, Shannon Campbell, etc?"
John
H: "We've had great first days before, but we can't
seem to keep it together in day two. We've got good confidence,
and high expectations."
Sam:
"Going into day two, will you be changing anything?"
John
H: "I think I just need to keep my head on straight,
and keep up our momentum into day two. I came here with
$46 in my wallet. This is put up or shut up! I just need
to tear it up tomorrow."

Jason
Scherer attempted the bonus line that nobody else tried
and made it on obstacle #A4.
While
that was impressive, John Hall also took on the "impossible"
line on course #A3 and made it look easy. John is on a roll
and will attept the bonus line on A4. We will update you
as it becomes available.
Quote
from Jon Bundrant - "A little frustrated at the beginning
I started off conservative to be consistent and didn't tackle
2 of the 3 bonus lines. However, the one bonus line we did
take, we were successful.
When
we came to the event, we figured the top competitors were
Tracy Jordan and Shannon Campbell; however, John Hall and
Jason Scherer have been putting up the challenge.
After
ending the day with a -33, I feel I am back in the groove
after the 2003 championship season and it feels good to
be back in Tiny."

With
the small amount of competitors, the day is going fast.
Jon Bundrant is already done for the day, and as expected,
he's kicking butt. Tracy Jordan, and Jason Scherer are also
looking really good.
Chaz
Murray is competing in his very first rock crawling event
with his newly built rock buggy. He has virtually no seat
time in the rig, but he seems to be doing very well for
his first event. He may not win, but for a first timer,
he's doing great!

Tracy
Jordan is looking good, cleaning obstacle #3. He is definitely
in the hunt for the top spot. He's gonna be tough to beat
with his old school spotter Jerry.
Dustin
Webster and his spotter get a little sideways on obstacle
#4. With some brute force by spotter Jody on the spotter
strap, they are able to straighten out and drive out of
what seemed to be a sure 40 points.

Cody
Wagonner breaks a front axle on his first obstacle! Cody
is David battling Goliath with his stock mod class CJ5 in
the Put up Event. Finishing a respectable 4th place in last
year's Put up, Cody suffered a major blow to his scorecard
by busting an axle in a brutal sidehill wheel wedging hole.
Jon
Bundrant and Larry McRae ace their first obstacle with a
perfect score of -2. Don Robbins and his brother try an
unconventional line on their first obstacle. The stop watch
was a little quicker than the Rock Tractor, and they timed
out on their first obstacle.
Shannon
Campbell and Dustin Webster talking strategy before the
event gets underway...

TRACY
JORDAN UNVEILS NEW ROCK BUGGY AT PUT UP!!!!
Tracy
claims Jerry can carry him and the new buggy up any obstacle!
Ok, so it's not his new rock buggy, but could Tracy Jordan's
new chase vehicle could be a look at things to come in the
future of rock crawling?
The
area is filling with the nation's top competitors, and die
hard fans. The weather is clear, cold, and WINDY. The wind
has been relentless, and so far today is no exception.
Currently,
the competitors are awaiting line up. Drivers like Tracy
Jordan, Jon Bundrant, Don Robbins, Dustin Webster, Ron Schnider,
John Hall, and not so known drivers like Chaz Murray are
ready to run what looks to be very difficult, and technical
obstacles.
Don
Robbins is bringing the 'ole "Rock Tractor" out
for some good clean fun.
