A Jeep from the stock class started 33'rd out of 36, passed everyone and even beat all the modified rigs to win today's EMC.
Guaranteeing him a spot in the big race!

LJ on 35" Falken tires  ;D

We should go next year and watch it in person Serge. I'm going to miss the LCQ but I'll be able to catch the coverage on Friday on PBB's Hammervision.

Yeah, maybe we should do that.

Some of you may know or have heard of Bear ( beartrax4x4.com ) from just north of us.

He unfortunately broke down at RM3  :(  DNF
They should be back up and running for the LCQ

That jeep is from Blaine and crew at savvy offroad. They went in with the owner of Currie and threw that rig together.

^^ I was wondering if that was the Savvy TJ they were entering, with the wildpeaks and all.

Yeah, one of the guys broke both his ankles in that wreck, ouch.  Pretty darn good race overall, congrats to Miller on the win.

A pretty spectacular way to finish the race:
