The XRRA event was a great success. This was Team Crossed Up’s first Rock Race event. The vehicle was new to the team with little to no seat time. Overall we had a lot of fun and excitement. We finished all 4 courses with time to spare. We ended up squeezing out 26 of the top competitors.
First Run: Team Crossed Up was the first team to finish course two. We were able to make quick work of the obstacle with no hang ups. After the first run Team Crossed Up was in 5th Place. The car worked great for it’s first lap out.
Second Run: We completed the course within the allotted time making for incredible photo opportunities. Intermission: Mike was interviewed by Dustin Webster, event M.C. which gave us a chance to thank our sponsors in front of the packed event. Our Pit Crew handed out over 200 Easter eggs filled with candy from Team Crossed Up.
Third Run: This was our fastest time of the day. It was a solo run and all eyes were on us. There were no hang ups and car worked great.
Final Run: It was a clean run. We did have a locker malfunction which cost us some time but, we still finished the course with time to spare. Overall we were very pleased with the car and event. Team Crossed Up was definitely a crowd favorite. We had large crowd participation. Despite a few problems we landed in 14th place out of 40 competitors. Crawl magazine, Wickedmag.com, Pirate 4x4 and many others were on hand to catch all the excitement of Team Crossed Up.
