Got a bath and some wax

 

I love that color.

 

Went to a Jeep Rodeo this weekend and entered in the races. Doing the barrels my daughter was driving and I was riding with her. She had been doing pretty good but as we were coming around the 2nd barrel the rear end caught a rut and that was all she wrote.

 

Ooops.

You guys both alright?

 

Wow! Are you all alright? Any damage to the vehicle? Hope it's nothing too bad.

 

Thanks guys for the concern. We are both just fine. Of course we had on helmets and 4 point harnesses. Had a few bruises but no serious damage. I ended up with a torn CV boot on the left rear CV shaft.

 

Well, that didn't turn out too bad then. How did your daughter feel about rolling it?

 

She tried to play it off like nothing happened but when she thought I wasn't looking I could see her shaking. She didn't want to drive for about an hour afterwards either. But then she got back in and drove the obstacle course too. She took 3rd place for girls age 12-15 and also got the hard luck award because this was her first time racing and she rolled.

Here are the shots before the roll.

Just starting to come up on two wheels.


Going up on two wheels a little more.


Still have two wheels in contact with terraferma


Stopped laying on it's side.


Safety crews were on site and got my daughter out first. Then they decided it would be easier to just push the cat back onto all 4's


All in all it was a fun weekend. My daughter was ribbed a little about being the first one to roll the Wildcat. I was impressed at the fact that there wasn't any more damage. It goes to show just how well built these rigs are.
