N.Ky friend going to Top Truck Challenge

[gothodgie]

A friend of mine that lives in Union Ky, that has a fab shop has made it into the Top Truck challenge this year. He also lead the voting out of all the selected trucks.

His trail rig is not a Toyota, but i think it is good to see a local guy make to the TTC. His driving style suits the TTC and he will give it everything the buggy has to win.

Here is a couple links to some threads about his buggy.
The Yeti - 3 seater Rockwell buggy - C.O.R.E. FORUM
Carwash Crawler - Build Thread... again. - C.O.R.E. FORUM

Just thought some of ya might be interested. To bad it will probably take the outdoor chanel a year to show coverage of the event.

just got some insider info from TTC... The guy from Union KY is rumored to have a new record for the tank trap... 3:34

This is a shot of his buggy with TTC edition Baja Claws... 54"ers

Well the official info will not be posted until in the morning, but from the chatter on face book he is the guy to beat this year.

Hasn't been any posts, so don't really know what anybody is thinking, but I'll update in the morning... I just think it's cool that some one from our area has done good and is in the running to win it.... I don't really recall anyone from the tri-state area doing good out at the TTC...

Nice rig! I would guess that two of those tires/wheels cost more than my trail rig

Yea, probably more than my rig too... But they were free to him cause he made it to the challenge... Folks with 1 tons got 46's and the folks with rockwells got the 54's

Just looked at Four wheeler mag's site and yes he won the buggy class...

From what i have heard he put on a good show. I read some where that his run through the tank trap was so quick the photographers couldn't get any pics of his run...

Pic from after the event...
