AOP - ADVENTURE CHALLENGE SERIES RACE 1 pics and vids

Good job on the videos guys. Is Nick running the stock Rockwell 6.72's or the 4.90's cause man that thing gets those tires movin! I remember the first few videos I saw of showgirl and knew something was different because as soon as he mashed it the tires were moving fast then later it was said he had the 4.90's in it. Good looking buggy Nick

Pretty much this. Surprised its not getting more discussion.
 
It seems to be a very serious issue. I don't like playing the what if game but everybody remembers Hillbilly Deluxe. There are several competitors that need assistance and NEED to feel confident in the recovery team

Yes it looks bad, the big extinguisher was a dud. It charged but never went off. The small one had the wrong safety tie to hold the pin in. The man that owns the rig was not mad, and his rig is fine. The guys know what they are doing. They just couldn't get the tie to break. I can promise it with not happen that way again. We will double check all pins to make sure the safety tie is pre cut. I don't care how much someone practices something, throw a monkey wrench in a turbine engine and watch it all go to ****. Lesson learned; just glad everything came out unhurt. It is so easy for everyone to set back and be an arm chair QB, until you are put in the same situation you never really know how you will react. By the way Eddie (WFO 1 on here) says if anyone wants to bash the crew just give him a call. (931)5eight0-9five11. He has already PM'd someone his number but they never called him.
 
I didn't mean to come off as bashing y'all's effort. I wasn't there just saw the videos and it looked like a cluster. I did try to call to apologize for coming off wrong. I was simply trying to say more thought needs to be put into the competitors safety. I'm not a fireman but I've been around fires and track safety my whole life bc of going places with my dad who retired from fire fighting. Once again don't get your panties in a wad by this armchair QB

Thanks for the videos guys,had a good time can't wait till we can do it again,WITC.
 
Do any of you guys know what hill they will be using in race #2 of this series? We drove 3 1/2 hrs to watch this and it was a good show and all...but I'd like to see these badass buggies have to climb something a lil more challenging. I get they are racing the clock but the hill wasn't that difficult considering the level of buggies and drivers attending.

I agree with what you say, the hill over by bounty hill that he raced up last time was a much better hill, hopefully the races get more challenging as we get into the series and I'm sure they will, Tom does what he can to make everyone happy and I'm sure he will not disappoint.

Tom has set up a series where people can actual complete the trail without yardsaling their ****. Also, you have to plan for the weather. If it had rained the week before or even the day of the event that hill would have been a totally different story. I've run it wet and it was a bitch. I don't think Tom realized it would be that dry, as that side of the park pretty much stays wet even when it hasn't rained in awhile. That was the driest I've ever seen it. I think a lot of people came out thinking they would see something similar to what they saw last August at the bounty hill run. This series isn't like that, and personally I like it. He will be having another bounty hill comp later in the year though for those that like that sort of thing.

Also, if you're really dying to see some stupid stuff just stick around after the comp. There was plenty of it on the trails afterwards :****:
