Would love to but I rushd out of Nashville Thursday and left the camera on the desk at work (and was NOT stpping back bt there).. Some of the RPM crew got ome pics so I'm sure Mike will snag some for us....

And send any of my righ to me too  :-\...

We had a blast. The ride was half the size as usual but that opened up the trails to be able to play and prety much do whatever you wanted.

I was more worried about getting to my closing on my consrtuction loan....  :P But your probably right, lists would keep me from owning 3 of everything where I buy something I already have almost every trip  ::).

We, well Mike (with me hanging on in the passenger seat) were climbing a sweet vertical ledge on the back of the quarry, doing a quick U turn, around a tree, back off the ledge and were making laps at it...
At about lap 3, we got a little close to the tree (hit dead center in rim) and ta dah... no more rear tire, or rim, or brakes... So in true Mikey style, he finishes the obstacle with 3 wheels before stopping to prepare for the ride out  8)

The three wheel dounts in the dunes on the way out were fun too  :o

I LOVE that red one with the tapered rear end.....what happened to his 4th wheel?!  Did he chain it up like that, or did it just sit level on it's own?

That would be the Esteemed Mr. Hagen who played a little too hard with one of his creations.

The axle shaft snapped off right at the end of the axle housing carrying away the wheel and - I suspect - the brake system.

I looked at it up close in camp (sorry I forgot to take a pic).  The axle was broken off just inside of the brake mounting flange and the flange itself was bent up a bit.

This truck drew lots of attention throughout the event!  Unique body and drivetrain work!
