Can't wait to see some pics and videos from the event...

Here's the link to the Facebook page. They have some pictures and a bunch of JackAsses that can't keep their trap shut about someone that got DQed for drinking.

Sound like Carwash had a <1:00 event, and the excellent time in the Tank Trap. He may bring home some nice hardware from this one!

In all of the episodes I have seen it looked like the rigs that were being picked have been more qualified for the run as the time has progressed. In years past they had swamp buggies from down south. That is one hell of a feat to win the buggy class! Awesome! :beers: I will have to get the video asap.

"off to moab afterwards."

Say hi to the redrock fourwheelers for me. Tell them jason from the first Isuzu run says Hi. Really great guys. They guided us around the whole weekend.
Moab is awesome if you go when its not Easter weekend. :D

Congrats again. Wash.

I still don't like buggies though.:p

We started off slow but finished strong. 57 seconds in mini rubicon and 3:34 or something in the trap. It wad crazy. Almost ran over a couple judges etc.

The hill climb was the scariest thing I've ever done. Video and pics do it no justice. They thought we rolled 4 times during it but we somehow kept going. Like six seconds separated the top 3 spots.

It was an awesome experince that I will never forget. Made great friends for life.

Any vids of the hillclimb?

It was the only event that was off limits to all spectators...

The first 4? competitors flopped... it was a ride that I'll never forget.

We cranked up the Propane earlier in the week... ran through 4 gallons in 47 seconds... :eek:

We heard from several people that were within ear-shot of a radio that they called us "rolled" quite a few times... "they rolled, no, wait... still going, nope, now they rolled... uhh, still going..."

We about creamed a track hoe... on my side of the vehicle... Mike doesn't even remember going past it... :evilgrin:

I will never wheel like we did in that hill climb ever again. Retarded reckless abandon, pedal to the floor and steer the wheel in the general direction you would like the rig to go and hope you can keep enough wheels on the ground to get it there.

I took out half a forest, some sponsor signs, and was working on getting an excavator (not that i ever saw it.) After the run: "you almost hit that excavator" "what excacator" "that one" "holy jesus... really?"

yeah, that's EXACTLY what it was tho... the hill was so steep up, and down into the holes, that you never had a clear view of anything you were climbing, it was insane.

4 gallons in 47 seconds! I was pissed my V6 used 2 1/2 tanks a weekend! Congrats on the win, buisness should be booming now at Sigma.

I can't imagine business changing much, not like i won the KOH or something...

We used a full 8 gallon bottle in tank trap... had the power valve all the way open... those cubes will drink when you let them. Not like i was babying it tho, im sure that was 3 minutes of 5k rpm.

06-18-2010, 02:16 PM

Don't get yer hopes up, we're not getting a cover shot. Whether we won or not, we didn't put on the best show, that's for sure. They are on Joe's nuts like fat kids on cake... bet your ass you see blue and silver both months.
