Well folks I know I have been Pretty quiet on the board this week as I was pushing to get the Jeep done for the race, well I did get the rear suspension done and we rolled into the race track Friday afternoon. Day one we had two good runs, we rocked the outfield with some little rubbing in the side by side portion of the comp,... Had a pretty stellar break on the infield ,... Came off the rocks broke a axle but kept going , then the ball joints let go,... Day one carnage long side axle , u joint, stub axle, steering box, tie rod end ball joints And likley a few other things I forgot to mention LOL but ended up in a 3rd Place standing for the day. Day two we traded paint again, had a great out field run and got stuck in the log jam after a creek rain storm,... It was down to just Tim and I at that point for first and second place so we decided for a grudge match,... He took me on the holeshot with his V8 YJ so got lane choice. He had a clean run and I got twisted up in the culvert rock pile popped anothe axle and that was it,.... I got second in my class but was faster than alot of the bigger class rigs,...

I will try and sneak onto Mudds Wednesday night show and tell you more Bout the weekend but for now I will show you videos and pictures that are starting to pop up on the net.

I sure hate seeing that wheel hanging out there. I guess you're getting used to it now though.

Outstanding Jensen, tough break on the axle though :D

Always lots of fun to compete. Did you manage to get any sleep the night before?

Yes sir we did! I finished up on Friday Afternoon around 3PM loaded up the Jeep and RV and we got to the event around 6PM. We had a few close calls on making Tech Sunday Morning with the broken ball joints and steering issues but we managed through it and got the truck just in time for the race!

Great action vids provided of the racing, thanks! Looks like the Cherokee worked really well for a rushed build! Tough luck on the break though, hated to see that.

Absolutely love the winch race video! I was loling at the pass and then the comments by the announcers! Very nice! Congrats on the placing!

THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Being a newbie to Jeeps, I've never seen anything like that before. I'd watch that over NASCAR any time!!

Sorry about the axle though. I heard one of the guys filming say, "That snap didn't sound good." I guess those types of noises never do.

I'm off to search how far I'd have to drive to see an event like that.:pray:

The ball joint break was kind of a fluke and not a big deal to be honest,.. We still got out on day 2 and it broke on the last lap of day one,..

New Chromies are in, shock Friday and then it should be ready for the next event or show and shine :)
