I know how much time/energy/money you put into it.
But you did well considering all you were up against. Nice job!

Hope you guys make it home safe and sound too.

Instead of having and obstacle coarse, why dont they hook the trailer with skidsteer on up to the truck, and then go on the 100 mile journey and incorperate fuel milage into it.

That would be a good test. Would be expensive to rent 10 identical trailers and 10 identical Bobcats though.

Congrats to the winner (regardless of brand)!

Thanks for the vid! :thumb:

From just reading it sounds like a good even't this year, other than the wavy rules. Congrats to the Ford team.

Nice run! Really shows what a 4 link setup can do (why drag racers and mod pullers use it) and didn't do the typical Ford front end oscillation. Does anyone know who did the suspension work on that truck, whomever did it did a nice job as it functioned well and took all the abuse (all the power in the world does no good if you can't get it to the ground)?

I think its OUO but, not 100%

Scanned over some of the ford forums... We will never hear the end of it. "Step in truck tore up the competition", "last minute decision and killed them all"... blahh..

It didn't "tear" up the competition, not even close. That is what I was rolling my eyes at.

I'm Not mad jackass. I said congrats. I don't take this stuff to heart like the some of them. :thumb:

Personally I don't give a shit who wins, it takes a lot of work, money, time, dedication by any team.

Agreed. Everybody on the outside is gonna take it how they want. I would've been happy for any winner as well. It's a Ford first in history so its definitely a change of pace for us. Dimitri, Jeremy and his crew are top notch. First to congratulate Erik on his win. Thats what its all about.
