    I'll write up a report later, I have tons of video to go through. Here are a few of Tommy wheeling on Sunday:

    Starting up the first hill:


    Deciding that this might not be a good hill to start on:


    Turning around:


    Turned around:


    Starting the next creek where he then ripped the valve stem off:

    This was one hell of a trip and I really hope that the club can get more involved at the next race. Basically Hudson, Tommy, Sam, Caleb the hunting guide, my Dad and I were responsible for the recovery of a 7-mile portion of the track, which was the farthest part of the track from the start. Being at the southern most part of the ranch the only communication we had was spotty cell phones and the sat-phone provided by IRC, however in true TAMOR fashion we were able to work together and recover every racer in a safe and quick fashion. The race was 12 hours of sometimes hard, fast-paced work normally followed by a lot of waiting. Everybody at the Texana Ranch and all the BRT guys are great to work with and offer the club a great opportunity to get involved in another form of wheeling.

    And Tommy some awesome camera exposure by the Bink photographers dragging a Baja Light up the big silty hill.

    God is Awesome coming through a gate:








    Krawltex fall off the hill (didn't need any help this lap but lost a transmission at night and the dodge drug them back to the pits )

    needs locka, longer front shocks and ripped a valve stem out about 20 minutes into our rock-crawling, but there than that no problems. Suspension held up to the up-hill drags and cycled well.

    The limited slip is more like a unlimited slip, and I need rock rings and gears. It works about like it did before the axle swap with a little more front flex. Once I move the front shock buckets it will work alot better. The rear flexes rediculously as usual.

    Couple videos

    First video:
    -The red ultra-4x4 thing took 3rd overall even after shearing its axle tube in-between the outer link mount and truss with 8 mile left in the race.
    -Red buggy with broken a-arm somewhere in the middle
    -Jesse towards the end


    Second video:
    Rodney's class 7u Ranger
    -this v-6 could quite possibly summon the apocalypse
