First off , people compete for MONEY! Not for the joy of going out and breaking their truck to put on a show for the crowd. And yea , my rig is worth just as much as a comp rig . But I built mine myself and didn't pay someone thousands of dollars to build it . So thats where the money factor comes in . I didn't build my rig from shit laying around the shop like some folks .
And a built D60 is chump change , but my "shitbox I drive" has won more competetions than you could dream of winning! And I did it all with a D30 ! You're gonna break shit regardless of axle size . or do you not wheel your's hard enough to know that by now .
As far as the sidelines , you won't ever see me there . Unless the payout isn't enough . Nobody enters a big comp. without a big payout . We guys who enter comps. do it for a living not just go 4 wheeling on Sundays with the Mall Crawlers. I may have pissy pants , but thats because I will the shit outta my rig . And if I pissed myself it's because I took a hard roll , just like a Unlimited , Super Mod or Stock driver would.
So whats gonna happen if only 2 or 3 Unlimited's or Super Mods show ? Are they going to get the big purse ? There's always been more Stock trucks than any other class . Just make it fair to us too. Bump that prize money up , or raise the entry fee to make it worth our while. I know for sure Carlo's wouldn't mind paying in more for a bigger payout.
