So did you guys get the rig done in time your what? We have not seen anymore pics of the rig driving around. When I drove by the shop at about 3pm you had not left for the event. Great job Kyle and good luck at the event.

I talked to Holms a few minutes ago... he said that they were on their way and everything worked out great... I stopped in to check it out (just before I was at Anarchy checking out Macs new buggy )... Both looked great... wish I could be down there this weekend to see it happen...

Hey guys we just got back into town.........late, Thanks to a semi rollover on the highway between Moab and Price, but we made it there and back

We had some problems on day one. we didn't leave salt lake until 11:00
thursday night,after having tranny problems, but we got it fixed.(big thanks to joey and the guys at J&g transmissions.

We got to Farmington at about 6:00 AM on friday. we got about an hour sleep in the hotel before getting up to make some last adjustments on the buggy. We had to have the buggy to the event site by 10:00 to be last minute teched. In all that mess we didn't have time to get water in the front tires before the comp. and thats where the problems came from. We ended up with a score of three points on our first obsticle. not bad for 0 seat time.

Then we had four big walls to climb and it just woundn't do it with no water in the tires.


Day two went much better after filling the tires to the top.
any way here are some pics of the buggy in action.

I thought they were requiring hoods??? I remember some of the rear-engined buggies failed tech earlier this year for not having hoods over the engines. Looks like they used the same old Farmington obstacles...

 

[Hickey]

Maybe the 5.0 upper intake qualifies as a hood?
