Trail-Gear's Matt Messer (left) and
spotter Craig Thompson lead the pack on day one and
continued to lead the pack finishing first in the Formula Toy Class.

Team Slow Speed does a full roll and
lands perfectly back on it's wheels. Too bad the truck
landed out of bounds or they would have continued
hammering at the rocks. Power Steering issues continue
to haunt the team. On Saturday they changed out
the steering pump yet again.
Scott from Rockstomper.com (above and
right) apparently had a safety issue with his rig that
required a fast exit. As he came out of the truck he
gashed his foot.
Fortunately Maxxis stocks
Band-Aids for any trail fix!
Temperatures rose in to the 80's but
there were plenty of refreshments on hand to keep cool.
Sno-cones, hamburgers, hot dogs, Taco and other items
kept the crowds well fed and comfortable.
