Lineup:
Airborne Ranger - Joe Cypher
Bounty Hunter - Darron Miguess
Bigfoot 11 - Rodney Tweedy
Bigfoot 16 - Dan Runte
Iron Outlaw - Kreg Christensen

Lethal Weapon - Mark Gallagher
Maverik Monster Trakker - Ron Dunchum
King Krunch (Ford Body) - David Smith
El Matador - Daron Basl
Tropical Thunder - Michael Pappas

El Matador was fast Qualifier, Darron Miguess in Bounty Hunter did a donut in his qualifying run and got a 32.55 (I think) in his qualifying run which was still only 2 seconds off and a decent time.
Maverik was out for the night as he blew out the right rear which was repaired the night before but wouldn't hold together on Ron's qualifying run.
Round 1:
El Matador Bye Run
Bigfoot 11 (Rodney) over The Patriot, this was the best race of the night
Iron Outlaw over Lethal Weapon (Getting a feel for things on the new truck)
Bounty Hunter over Captain USA
King Krunch over Airborne Ranger
Bigfoot 16 (Runte) over Tropical Thunder
Round 2:
El Matador over Bigfoot 11 (Rodney Tweedy) in a very good race!
Iron Outlaw over King Krunch, again another great race!
Bounty Hunter over Bigfoot 16 (Runte) with another close race.
*Runte would come back as Fast Loser*
Semifinals:
El Matador over Bigfoot 16 (Runte) in another great race
Iron Outlaw over Bounty Hunter
Finals:
El Matador over Iron Outlaw in a 2 lap shootout, great race, both trucks had their brakes glowing at the end of the run. This was the best racing I've ever seen at Rocky Mountain Raceways.
Onto Freestyle, El Matador, Captain USA, Lethal Weapon, Maverik were all unable to freestyle. Judging system was a bit weird at RMR, they had a scoring system out of 10, the judges seemed to do a decent job on it though.
Freestyle:
Tropical Thunder up first, Michael seemed to be learning the course and got some decent hits of the car stack getting a feel for things; Score: 2.2 out of 10
The Patriot out next and Dan Rodoni was gonna set the bar high with great air of the dirt hill towards the pits with some big air, and had some good momentum, got into a little bit of a donut, hit the big car stack to get some good air, GREAT RUN! Score: 7 out of 10
Bigfoot 11 and Rodney Tweedy set to go out next, and headed straight for that concrete wheelie bump, Rodney hit it to perfection and got a nice slap wheelie!!! Had some nice air, then at his final hit of the run, hit the concrete wheelie ramp again and had a another great slap wheelie!! Score: 7.25 out of 10, Rodney would be your new leader.
Airborne Ranger out next, had a few good sky wheelie, swung into a great donut, it wasn't the most high action packed run but Joe did a great run and had a nice little save at the end. Score: 5 out of 10.
King Krunch would be out next, David Smith would immediatly get some HUGE air, biggest air of the night of the dirt ramp to kinda cross thread the cars on, would hit the dirt hill of near turn 4 and HUGE AIR!!! That would be the thing that described David's run, and he would be your new leader with a 7.30 out of 10.
Bigfoot 16 and Dan Runte would be out next and I would be surprised out of this run, Dan headed towards the concrete wheelie ramp and would carrie a wheelie a ways down the front stretch and would head towards the turn 1 dirt ramp and would get some HUGE AIR!!! And would carrie it into a little wheelie, and would hit the turn 4 hill, and got some great air, so far this was the best air of the night, Dan would turn around go back to the turn 4 dirt hill and get air and a little bit of a slap wheelie, Dan would head towards the big Car Stack and get a great slap wheelie, and then into a AWESOME DONUT, and would hit the concrete wheelie ramp and would get a little slap wheelie and that would be his run, that was the BEST run I've seen out of Dan Runte in a long time!!! Score: 8.8 out of 10
Bounty Hunter would be up next, Darron heading of towards the wheelie ramp, couldn't quite get it, got some nice air, little donut, got a nice hit of the van stack on the backstretch and would finish the run up as time expired with a 7 out of 10, not a bad run for Darron Miguess in Bounty Hunter
The last guy out would be Kreg Christensen in his hometown, got a little wheelie off the concrete barrier, great air of the turn 1 cross thread dirt ramp, then would hit the cars as a cross thread, nice nice air and then would go on the van stack, GREAT AIR, would turn around hit the turn 1 ramp and would get some huge air but would hurt the truck a little, and had some great air of the turn 4 dirt hill, and then it would end the run unfortunately, but would get a score of 7 out of 10, which was a little underscored but I won't complain. That would end freestyle as Dan Runte in Bigfoot 16 would be the Maverik Clash of the Titans Freestyle Winner!!!
