Big thanks to Woody's on letting Piston's Wild hold their event at their shop.

Got started on setup bright and early.

Lining up the rigs. After the past few overcast days, the weather was looking promising.

Our first participant arrived almost two hours before registration officially opened. Guess he was a bit excited to show his FJ40, so we gave him the front row seat.

Joey's new truck was playing the "abandoned vehicle" card pretty well.

I was kinda disappointed no showing for the NWC, then low and behold Darren and Chad arrived.

I'm a huge fan of "character" on a vehicle, and you could tell these rigs had some stories to tell. Loved the, BII.

According to LJdude, "these are the original XJ."

Time to break in the club's new RTI.

It's always fun to watch Chad on the ramp because you always hear, "wow, that thing has some flex..."

Ramp King of the Unlimited Class. It's definitely a sleeper.

Don, Joey, and others worked hard on the grill all day. Thanks, guys.

More RTI action.

Around this time I spotted Dellstopjeep's Wife rolling down the road with codawg, BPB. They came out to check out the event.

Douglas and David hosting the "Most Prepared" Competition.

Time for the annual "Whiz Off". Our own BPB represented the NWC in it.

You be the judge.


All in all, it was a fun event.
