I AM IN!!!!
I got the call from Douglas today letting me know that I will be competing.
Kevin Myers is the guy that had the blue jeep on 54" boggers. Ya....he sold the jeep on ebay and was planning on bringing a buggy that he just bought that happens to be Dan Dibbles old ASM buggy from the 06 TTC. Can you say against the rules??? I guess he is super pissed but they told him he cant bring a rig that wasnt voted in by the readers. Common sense if you ask me.
Anyhoo I get to compete! Im pretty excited and a little more nervous now but it will be a blast!
Wish me luck :chris:
Honestly I don't even know or care about the other rigs. As you have seen, the top picks never seem to perform well in all levels. It seems that the ones who are steadily wheeling with restraint when needed and don't break, move up.
I call it Cerebral wheeling.
Didn't Dan's old rig break? I remember tons of the Idiots on Pirate saying that he was going to win it all too.
You need to hit some mud holes with those Rockers to see how they perform. I found they don't have as much bite as a Bogger in the mud and sand, but they also don't dig down and then move forward like the Boggers. I found they move forward without digging, but with more tire spin than Boggers. So I actually run at a higher gear in the slick stuff.
That shouldn't be taken as a negative either.
I also noticed they are not the Horsepower Hogs like the Boggers are. Don't forget to find a difficult spot and play with the pressures. I know they don't like 9 psi at all. They had the same grip as Boggers. When I air them down to 4-5, they stick like glue on the rocks. It is a DRAMATIC difference.
