I was there from 2003 to 2007, I remember most of you guys, you have no idea how bad it was before you all got there. There was no clubs, nothing. I was one of the first off-road club members to start on the hill, hell that is my concrete holding those telephone poles into that hillside and alot of my rocks from the farm. Thank god we had a cool teacher like Nidiffer to run our club...
I can see why Higgins didn't want a damn thing to do with the truck, it was a cluster **** from the beginning and always will be. That truck was a 3/4 ton gas jobber they hauled trash cans with. Hell one time they had it in the shop and they couldn't figure out why every time they would turn real sharp the truck would die. I lifted the hood and proceeded to find a 3 foot too long ground cable someone had wrapped around the steering shaft and it was pulling it loose from the battery...
I bet alot of you remember what it took just to get funding for the smallest thing. We never got anything like they do now. Hell they sponsored my friend Mario's Camping World Truck for one race and that was 15K dollars and he got 15 kids for the weekend. They are sponsoring everything they can now, we begged, barrowed, lied, cheated and stole just to get them to let us take the van to North Carolina for a weekend to go to a tuff truck race...
