Now here is your first place winner, Mike R. and his Appetite for Destruction Buggy. Mike is the first to repeat and the first to win back to back at this event, it was close but Mike started to pull away at the end of day two. Some of you may recognize this buggy from events down south...

Another guy who travels south to compete in the SRRS. Erin Early and the Jiggler on Holy Moly, Erin ended up in 5th place after a tough weekend of wheeling.

Now I know you all know Dale. Dale Larsen stayed up late fixing his transfer case or was it his transmission to make the Blue Trail on Sunday, Dale puts on a great Show and is definitely a force to be reckoned with!

The Bounty Hunter had some bugs that were getting worked out, I don't think the Bounty Hunter likes the cold. Corey did get it running, but missed a few events so he decided what better place to have fun than a competition with no worries about where you end up.

Trevor Bristol was running away with the first half, that guy can fly in his Forged buggy. Trevor finished 3rd, missing second place by .04 points, great effort Trevor!

Shawn took 4th in his Hulk buggy, might not be the fastest, but he sure can wheel the heck out of it. Most of the guys run Shawn's Inner Airlocks to keep the tires on and to protect the rims from breaking or bending, it's like a big pillow in there. www.innerairlock.com

Every April this event is held and open to anyone from anywhere, I even tried it in a slightly modified 1972 FJ40, I was after the $2 grand, but just got out wheeled.

Jim Gerst is training his Daughter Jacklyn to drive his big buggy. She ended up breaking her Daddy's buggy on day two. Any suggestion for her Shelby? I think Jacklyn has the bug!

That looks like a fun and well run event. The best is the spectator accents. I am sure they say the same thing when watching videos of events from the south but still.

Jim Gerst Jr. drove himself into second place overall. We'll try and get him down south one of these times too! He had the fastest time on the Blue Trail.
