On obstacle #3, Kelly rolls over but it's
still good! The rear axle passes the finish
gates!

The waterfall drop off at the end of course
#4 had a lot of drivers fully puckered up.
It's a 6 foot drop off on rock!

Update
Course #2
has been an incredibly difficult obstacle. Kelly
Clifford was the first to taste this nasty section of
rock. Despite their best efforts, Kelly and Lance were
unable to climb up this section.

Jason Scherer was talking to me before he
started his attempt up #2. He thought he was
going to just crawl up it and there would not
really be anything worth taking a photo of. Well
#2 denied him access and slammed him down to the
bottom in defeat. Just a little tougher then he
was planning for. Other drivers now really
worried about this section.
Next
up on #2 was Dustin Webster in the Red Bull
ROCK-IT truck. Dustin tried a different
approach, he winched up the face taking a 30
point penalty but was still designed when on the
other side he got tangled up with a 10 point
cone, causing him to point out before
completion. |
Also giving
this section a try was Tracy Jordan. Jordan also started
out #2 on the end of a winch. In a bit of a
controversial call, the judges called a 10 point oil
spill on Tracy. The Judges did not seem to notice this
until the announcer was pointing it out to audience.
While the Judge called the spill, he did not seem to
notice the fact that Jordan had pointed out at this
point (10 for spill, 30 for winch) and let him complete
the course. It was not until completing the course that
Tracy was told he had pointed out.
Mike Shaffer
also was on #2 this morning and was the first driver to
score any points on this obstacle. He winched the face
and stayed away from the cones taking 10 points for the
obstacle.

Bruce Zeller Team #180 Rolled so hard off of
Course #3 that he shattered his right front
wheel when he landed. |
