Raceline Wheels donated the polished trophies and kicked in first place prize with a set of Allied Rock-A-Thon Steel Beadlocks.

John Stewart, Cal4 Natural Resources Consultant and owner of http://www.4x4wire.com/ served as my Chief Judge. Stacie Albright performed as reining champion team judge -- the Team Degenerates judge (again).

Greg Mulkey mc'd with me and was our host Sponsor, Raceline Wheels, for the Challenge for the third time.

The three teams this year were Team Degenerates (1st place): Team MetalCloak JK Adventure (2nd place); and Team Poly Performance (3rd place).

The Team Challenge is like a scavenger hunt on the rigs to see who can find a trail item the fastest and get it to the judge first.  Sponsors included:

Title Sponsor: Raceline Wheels

Product and Gift Certificate Sponsors:  Trail-Gear; MetalCloak; Tuffy Security Products; BDS Suspensions; Inner Air Locks; Dirt Tricks (Ironman Sprockets); Bushwacker; and Trasharoo.

Crowd Pleaser Goodies:  sPOD, SpiderTrax; Trail-Gear; Off Road Evolution; Wheelers for Warriors; Torq Development (Super 14); ToyTec; and OutbackUSA.

Thanks to all the teams, judges and sponsors for a great time and a fun contest -- all about landuse, saving trails and making it fun in the process.

Reno Stampede Best Prepared Trail Rig Team Challenge 2011

It's AWN!  Friday night September 9th in Reno, NV, at the Ultra4 Reno Stampede...

THE BEST PREPARED TRAIL RIG TEAM CHALLENGE!!!

Tons of the prizes for the contestestants!  All done in fun and for landuse!  Anyone can enter!  Audience cheering (and hissing) likely!  Teams will be famous!

We are still looking for a TITLE SPONSOR, but as of right now, the Team Challenge looks like this:

This is like a scavenger hunt on your rig, with a team of UP TO four (4) folks.

Any 4x4 rig set up for trail rides may enter (including UTV's).  Does not have to be street legal.

We are asking for a small donation/entry fee of $20 per person ($80 per team), with the donation going to BlueRibbon Coalition.

First Team Challenge we had 5 teams; second Team Challenge we had 7 teams.  Who knows how many this time??  :)  ENTER and take a shot.

Magazines and TV coverage likely.

Hot chicks for judges!!!

RUMOR has it that past Team Challenge champions are returning to DEFEND their titles!!!

Hosted by Del & Stacie Albright of the BlueRibbon Coalition.

All items must be located in or on the vehicle.  Teams must find the requested item QUICKLY and dash to the assigned judge, in front of a live and verbal audience!  Fastest team with item to judge, wins that item.  Team with most items WINS the competition.  First two winning teams get fancy-beautiful trohpies made by Raceline Wheels.

TONS of prizes will be awarded teams; all teams will win something from our supporting businesses.  Audience will get rewarded as well with freebies and fun goodies.
