It was a blast! I wish my motor would have been up to par. I had no power all day long. Everything else held together though
So did anyone get picks of my wheel stand going in to the mud?
I havent gone through the camera yet but I have a GREAT pic of it in my head That was the most enteraining part of the day. My Jaw dropped when your wheels came off the ground.
Its awesome you competed again this year. Im thinking next year I want to run open class. After I get a big block installed of course.
Check out this sequence of shots. There was no penalty for going out of bounds on outside corners, only inside corners, this was our second lap, I took about the same line the first lap, without the exciting consequences, guess I was on the throttle a bit more coming into it second lap

I had a good laugh with Corey when you putted up and over the top of the hill at the end of the gauntlet. There's something about right there at that hill that your Scout doesn't like. Last year the bead, this year the HP.
You had it won last year if it wasn't for the lost tire.
The crew of this rig deserves special mention also:
Someone please post their names.
They ran the open class, and I honestly believe would have topped the Rock Garden if not for an engine handicapped by sucking lots of swamp mud on our second event. Even with this handicap, I assume they had the high mark on the rocks, if not then 2nd highest before the engine totally gave out. I assume they had one of the fastest scores on the Baja, sucked the mud and struggled with the lose of power and ultimate rod knock sounding death on the rocks. This team would have placed in the top two if not for the lost engine.

I think you need to do the Challenge twice a year......spring and fall. Once is just not enough!!:greg:
This was my first time there( I was down there with Cheston and was spotting for the big durango) it was awesome. Too much fun for real life. The club down there really does an awesome job.
Hopefully next year I will bring my rig down
And hopefully Cheston (chestonscout) will be totally repowered by then
I'm making sure Cheston draws out to run first in his class again next year. He seemed to like doing that two years in a row so far.
What are the chances of drawing first 3 years in a row??
x2!!
