TTC question

itbrokeagain · 10-24-2010, 12:26 AM

I saw Fat Girl was DQed from Tank Trap for a rules infraction. What was that all about.

JeffK5 · 10-24-2010, 09:32 AM

An off camera incident the day before at the Mini Rubicon .... they DQ'd him from the TankTrap to insure he had no chance at winning the overall...

He ran the trap knowing it was jut for fun and did many thousands of dollars damage to his rig ..trashed a ZZ502 and killed the $$ race trans.

There was a big thing about it on facebook for a while. From what I understand, they were with some folks that were drinking and the judges found out about it.

twiztedzuki · 10-24-2010, 11:19 AM

ole fat girl should been voted in when Cameron had it anyways! Nobody drives like TC!

yellowjacket · 10-24-2010, 11:21 AM

I'm pretty sure it was when it belonged to Tim Cameron.

RuffedUpXJ · 10-24-2010, 03:18 PM

I heard at the park in Hollister that no drinking is allowed in the off road park, it's allowed at the camp ground. Fatgirl's driver had a couple after his runs were done but in the offroad park. So officails heard of it and DQed him. He wasn' going to drive his rig back to the camp, says his people. Thats what I heard.

twiztedzuki · 10-24-2010, 04:55 PM

pretty sure it wasnt, he didnt make it to ttc. I dont have any dvd with fat girl in it when TC had it

jwend · 10-24-2010, 11:09 PM

fat girl went in this years ttc with the new owner Leo. As far as i Know TIm has never been in ttc

carwash · 10-24-2010, 11:18 PM

Leo got dq'd for drinking a beer. ****ty part is, we all were, and they knew this. they made an example of him.

twiztedzuki · 10-25-2010, 10:17 AM

Thats what I heard to drinking, its a shame he is entertaining to watch!

His run in the Tank Trap was respectable... sub-10 min. (even with the roll-onto-the-side winching) but it was the 10th place in the Mud Pit did not do him any favors overall... Even without ANY points from the 'Trap, he got 5th highest number of points. With points that he potentially could have won in the 'Trap... would have been up to 3rd at best.

Put a snorkel on Fat Girl before the Mud... and it's a WHOLE different story.

itbrokeagain · 10-25-2010, 11:41 PM

Yea I bet he destroyed it with no snorkel

Was the TTC on The Outdoor Channel tonight? I never seen it and usually record the later showing.

got to check it out...last week I saw carwah pick his nose on camera...

BIGRAM · 10-26-2010, 03:00 AM

Well, just finished homework and it's 2 am. Guess I'll watch it before I crash.

Thanks,

RuffedUpXJ · 10-26-2010, 09:20 AM

Nice work on the Mini Rubicon Mike, sub one minute and made it look easy.

FatGirl really struggled in there. And the other teams that are west coast and should have rock experience didn't come close to your time. Did it help going thru first since it looked liek a lot of the rocks were able to be moved and possibly you and the other guys moved them to harder spots?

carwash · 10-26-2010, 10:08 AM

Don't be fooled by their editing trickery... I didn't go first. I went 4th I think... Guam, Leo, and Ryan went before me. Maybe they paved the way for me... that's what they all say anyway.

RuffedUpXJ · 10-26-2010, 01:18 PM

If anything Leo messed the course up. Those were some big holes in there.

KargoMaster · 10-26-2010, 01:38 PM

Yes we went 4th... editing trickery...

PJ in the Willy's was directly behind us...and he had a 4 min time... I thought that was an indication of CW's driving skill rather than the "highway" that some were claiming... we went over many of the same rocks... we just didn't get caught up on them.

Side note: I think I said two words that whole time. "My side..." once.

I thought that it was great that CW and Roger (who seemed to really enjoy that run) represented this side of the country well.

carwash · 10-26-2010, 02:16 PM

It was a good run, paved or not. My main goal was to keep your ass in that seat, and there it stayed.

JeffK5 · 10-26-2010, 06:25 PM

The best throughout, built and prepped rig won... easy as that.

I think you combine a top notch rig built for anything you can throw at it plus a good driver and co-dog you guys where going to be hard to beat..

It was damn fun being pit *****..

carwash · 10-26-2010, 11:00 PM

It was nice not turning a wrench due to breakage the entire week. It was built to take an ass beating, that's for sure.

I can't believe the way that Sami guy dragged his rig down and broke the links, shocks, and whatever else was in the way. Too much money to get another 100 feet, but I do understand it's a once in a lifetime event.

Are you allowed to do it more than once?
