Ryan(GreenZuk)/Leo(FatGirl) were the ones that gave the editors/"bleepers" some job security.

Last year it was into Dec before the actual TTC videos were shipped... Hoping for a little sooner this year...

OK Brad, so i know I have only seen you with a floppy-ish hat on but it seems that all the TV people and old competitors had them on. Are those hats big out there?

May have been around 2005 or so where there was an official hat for the event... Blue bucket hat... floppy brim type... I believe they may have even coerced competitors into wearing them during the pics/events...

Some of the Judges and Crew were still wearing them in past videos (Stover)... and we saw some this time... but the style hat is something that works well to keep off the brutal sun. When we got to JV after TTC... the environment was extremely hostile in terms of sun/dry-ness.

I'm still less than happy that they wouldn't let me wear my hat for the rig/driver/co-dog beauty shots on Monday... After that I put on the AMSOIL sticker and no one said another word... Lynn (AMSOIL rep) even said that he was getting people asking him about my hat...

That hat is Outdoor Research's Seattle Sombrero and mine has been rafting through the Grand Canyon, water skiing/wakeboarding/snow skiing/snow boarding numerous times, wheeling (back when I had a rig to drive), and has kept the rain off the back of my neck (my original intention) countless times in the last decade... I think it's time for a new one... maybe a different color this time?

I have a camo one I wear as well and I understand the heat and what not and I guess that explains having one being the "hat" for the event makes them popular.

It was funny watching the camera guys trying to walk along the tank trap when you guys went through it since they couldn't keep up.

How close did the points end up being? I haven't found them and FourWheeler's site sucks.

I liked the YouTube video that showed Tony Becker almost sliding down in front of us when he slipped on the walking path...

Here's my take on the "results" ...there's 3 possibilities:

Official:
1. Carwash Buggy = 67
2. Guam Buggy = 66
3. Willys Buggy = 46
4. Zuk Buggy = 45
5. Gray Truck = 41 (Truck Class Winner)
6. Roger's PowerWagon = 40
7. Danger Ranger = 32
8. '37 Ford = 31
9. 12voltGuy = 25

Unofficial: (+FatGirl earned points before 'Trap)
1. Carwash Buggy = 67
2. Guam Buggy = 66
3. Willys Buggy = 46
4. Zuk Buggy = 45
5. FatGirl Buggy = 43
6. Gray Truck = 41
7. Roger's PowerWagon = 40
8. Danger Ranger = 32
9. '37 Ford = 31
10. 12voltGuy = 25

Unofficial Buggy Class: (+FatGirl points in the 'Trap)
1. Carwash Buggy = 67
2. Guam Buggy = 66
3. FatGirl Buggy = 53 (estimated based on Leo/Viz time through 'Trap)
4. Willys Buggy = 46
5. Zuk Buggy = 45

Not sure that the "Truck Class" Equal Opportunity bracket is really a good idea as it was really 5th or 6th place overall... but we'll see what happens...
