Must have been a bonus or something? Not really sure why they would attempt a sandhill in reverse otherwise?

From what i heard, He broke something in the rear end limiting him to front wheel drive only, thus why he was going backwards. Too bad man, always next year.

Proud of the Beach!

Casey is not running the 69 diffs at this time. He fabbed up a new rear diff, dana 60 with larger axle tubes a couple of weeks ago.

I watched his run on Pirate 4x4 TV. He made an awesome leap up the first half of the obsticle called Back Door. At the second climb it wouldnt move. It appears the rear tires would not rotate foward but would backward. He winched up that part, did a front dig and blasted up the rest of the hill from there, hitting the rev limiter all the way, classic Beach. The cameras only showed that much of the race. Apparently there is a sand hill out of the view of the camera? This must be where he timed out. Prehaps someone could clairify that.(No return text message. Perhaps no service in the desert?)

I hope whatever broke is not expensive, or something I did helping him prepare for KOH.

Casey, big time bummer. Maybe next year. Glad you put on a show. Stay for the race and have a blast. JV is a fun place even when you are not racing.
