    freaking awesomeeee

    In my defense of me getting stuck on the rocks. Next year we NEED tires with tread. Ours looked like street slicks almost. :bang: Plus if you went straight down the middle there was a HUGE rock that we could have never went over. At least we won though :laughing: The jump was awesome though :driving:

    Dude I cannot believe that you jumped those cars like that, insane!! I was trying to crush the front of the cars more in the beginning, but never got it down far enough. Oh well, you made easy work of it. HAHA :up: :up: So the rain started to really come down after everyone left, which made that area so super slick. In the beginning, getting overthe cars while it was dry was super easy, after it was all mud, it was super hard. Took me about 6 tries to get over them from the front, from the side or rear, was impossible. We need to post our videos on the ESJA site. All of the people there after the sun came back out were doubting and running their mouths about us and going over the cars. Great showing for the DEJA crowd. We did great.


    Results:
    DEJA : 1st in the beater build
    Glenn : 1st in the CJ6, Scrambler, CJ8 show division
    Ed : 2nd in the RTI ramp comp, and 3rd in the slow crawl (5.38, 4:1, and 37s did nothing for me HAHA)


    Was fun though...

    I wish there was a way to blow that one up for me to frame and put in my office. Did anyone get any stills of that ?

    I just did a screen shot and copied it to a word file, printed it and scanned it to get it into a jpeg (which is why it's all grainy). Is there a better way to do it? I'll see if I can email the screen shot to you.
