WE ROCK LIVE! GOLDENDALE, WA 5/26-27/07

We Rock Rumble on the rocks Live!

This comp was going to take place closer to Seattle, however due to permits and such the comp moved back to the very cool town of Goldendale WA. We rolled into Goldendale to see the town full of rock crawlers. The Premiere of H and C 4 is getting ready to air at 8:30 at the event site.

Look for the hard core action to hit the Internet around 12:00 PM West Coast time.

Tracy Jordan started the shootout but because of a broken L/R axle he suffered on a prior course, had to bow out and be winched out. Tom Haman pointed out after hitting 3 cone and 10 backups. Jason Paule was up next and was the only driver to complete the course with a 13.

Bruce Zeller was next and was doing great but decided to try at the bonus gate. This turned out to be a bad decision; he ended up timing out also. Jason Scherer put on an amazing show after breaking his L/F axle and almost finished but came up just a few feet short. Because all of the other competitors timed out, Cody Waggoner only had to clear one gate and he would take the victory. Cody also timed out but still held off everyone for the victory. Congrats Bro!! The next comp is in Donner CA where last year Cody was also victorious. Sounds like a good recipe for back to back wins for Team Waggoner Racing.

The Pro Modified shootout was a bit more exciting because the scores were so tight going into the shootout. Tim Florian started the shootout but early into his run he rolled and was unable get his rig back on his wheels. The Lovell Brothers were next and showed why they are always at the top of the leader boards by scoring an 11. This moved them into 3rd. Next was Buzzy Bronsema who had already gotten 2nd place in the Stock Modified class. Buzzy managed to get a 14 and keep his 4th place standing. Ben Hanks went into the shootout in 3rd place but timed out. This dropped him into 5th place where he finished. Terry Dagen who had been driving great all weekend long continued to through the shootout getting an 11 and solidifying a 2nd place finish. Brian Errea also received an 11 taking the victory just ahead of Terry Dagen.
