A Solid First Appearance.

This is a picture of our convoy when we hit the White Elephant in Strong, Saturday morning. The drive down might have been half the fun for Bean(in his 08' tc) and me (in my 00' 2.5rs). We ripped passes by Kev and the family in the truck and maybe took some turns a little fast. For some odd reason whenever we drive with each other it's like filming for Fast and Furious.
The weather wasn't the best, but i guess rain only helps at a mud run. I was pretty a little to excited to be honest, having never been to a mud run. After the drivers meeting they got the truck running with no problems. It actually started better than a lot of the other trucks, impressively. 

The first few classes didn't produce anything too exciting. The start got pretty damn soupy from other trucks being pulled out. They had to scrape excess mud off several times because some couldn't even make it up the start ramp. Obviously our truck had no issues there. 

The camera that we rigged up on the roof was going to work. I turned the camera on too soon though. it recorded for five minutes before Kev ran. In those few minutes the batteries went pretty much dead. Very disappointing. Next time we will rig something different to get some good shots. Tomorrow I'll upload a video clip i got for the sidelines when the internet is cooperatiing.
