Here here spence. I didn't like him also. If you are goin to announce at event then at least do some research about what you will be talking about. They should have had someone more familiar with the sport. The music was nice though. Good old rock to wheel too. Gets you more into it.
So what is next?? Cedar city or vernal?? When?? Might have to check the next one out. St George was too fun.

Um, the "pencil necked geek" was there in Farmington too. He was Sarge's wingman. I enjoyed yer commentary Sarge, and the music seemed to be at a tolerable level this time.

The music was okay unless you were a driver and couldn't hear your spotter tell you where to go...

Was he adjusting the wheelbase throughout the competition? I was under the impression that UROC rules prohibited the use of an adjustable wheelbase...

I can't say for sure or not. It was Manually Adjustable, he had to loosen 2 bolts, drive forward in 'Front Only' to pull the Splines out and lenghten it. I do think that everytime I saw it, it was fully extended.
It's a brilliant idea.....
Here's a better shot of the setup-

cool rig but didn't seem to work.......it seemed to be way underpowered......and the way the wheels track straight up and down a lot of times he had only very little sidewall contact....I bet he doesn't finish the season out with it......at least the way it's set up now
Oh believe me, I've learned alot this weekend and so I WILL be more up to date on the rules. One 5 minute mistake and and I trashed what can I say. Sorry if your a driver and you can't hear that well over us. We are working on that. more speakers in different places. I had a great flipping time, also help me learn more about the sport and give me more ideas on what I can do up there. If you think it was easy for this old man to climb those rocks and give comitary from up top, and then have them call you and say someone was going to do the money pit, ouch! Anyway,
All you guys who competed where awsome and I'm VERY PROUD to get to work with such a fine group of people. I hope Craig Brings me back for Cedar!!!!
The Dodge got 18 going down and 20 coming back.
Hey Knife, how come you make me through people out! LOL

One of the offroad rags had an article of new hot tech that was going to be taking off for extreme rock crawling. And one of those was IFS and IRS. Long travel of corse. Personally, I don't get it. You can just look at a solid axle and see it's going to articulate more and grab better than an independant suspension.

Yes he did change it...I know he stretched it a little more when he got to my obstacle...we talked about the adjustable wheelbase in or judges meeting and after reviewing the rules decided there is nothing against the adjustable wheelbase in the unlimited class so he could use it as he wishes...at first I thought it was hydraulically adjusted but when he pulled up to our obstacle he did what Greg said...he had to do it manually...
when they finally made it to the top of my obstacle his spotter was talking about how heavy the new rig was...I think the 40s are too big for competition...IMHO
Curt H was saying he wasn;t real impressed with the 39.5 Krawlers with such a light rig...he said they are like a huge balloon...
I got 37.5 mpg for the whole trip
Of course it was in the wife's JettaOur friend who you had to remove was sitting in front of Dennys begging for money just before the meeting...for some reason I knew he would find his way over to the hotel once he saw all the people coming in...thanks for takin care of him
B needs a new title now..."The Knife"
