*** RCRocs Club Competition Challenge - Report ***

  • Well, it was a great day!


    We placed 4th out of 7. Considering the competition, I think we can be pretty proud of that.


    Thanks to Aaron, Ed, Jason & Sal for competing and thanks to all those that came out to support the team.


    Pics and videos to follow.

  • Here's Aaron run in the final "shoot-out". About 7 mins.

    No problems here. :shrug:


    As said already, thanks to the team for representing DEJA but as anyone there would attest, a special thanks goes out the Aaron Stapen for not only his leadership, but the fact that he spotted everyone else in the group totaling 12 different runs and stacked probably a hundred rocks along with driving.


    I haven't had time to upload many pics or video's but here's what I have so far.


    This is Sal's finish from the other side.

    The infamous, Ed ran Aaron right on top of that cone pic... Sorry... :shrug: I didn't see it... I was too worried about the bonus gate...


    We had a great time. There were a few dumb things that we did that caused us some points, but towards the end of the comp, we were doing great as a team. It just took some learning eachother's vehicles and so on.


    I want to say thanks to Jason, Sal, and Aaron. I hope we get to do it again. Maybe we (DEJA) can host another club comp... I am sure RC would be down for it.


    I would also like to say thanks to everyone who came out to support us and root us on. We appreciated every clap, every cheer, and every yell! Thanks!


    And Lastly... Thanks to Billy for being the team bitch all day. He was constantly running around getting us water, tools, removing broken parts, getting snacks, and just really helping out a pretty demanding team. So thanbks for putting up with our shit Billy... And letting us use your rig as a trash can.

    What happened to KGB and BMJA?????


    Did they not show up or what. Expected MUCH bigger scores from KGB especially. :doh:

  • Errr...think you're reading it wrong. BMJA won...kinda like golf, the lower the better. ;)


    Right.


    It is worth pointing out how poorly Maryland Creepers did...


    Especially since they reportedly talked a lot of trash around the campfire about how DEJA was "just a bunch of surf-fishermen". LOL


    Like I said in the fisrt post, I'm very happy with how we did.
