July 4th pictures



Neil gets stuck in the Mud Pit at the top of The Tunnel. Morris Rothfeldt, in green EB, and Doc, standing to the right of his black EB, winch him out. Donald Dickerson, on the left, checks to make certain that all is working correctly.

Bents & Dents is a tight squeeze! Good friends lend a hand: Jason White (yellow shirt with white hat); Pat Hayes (other yellow shirt); Ron Foster; Adam Harris; Donald Dickerson; and others. Alicia Foster takes pictures! (See note below.)

Neil, driving a BB on 44s with a healthy 460, attemps Cherokee Hill, but is denied. Neil and his friends trailered their rigs down from Indiana.

Scott gives Donald Dickerson a tour of WITC in his heavily-modified EB: Dana 60s with a macho 460!
(Note: Scott broke several spindle bolts off the passenger side Dana 60 knuckle while attempting Bents & Dents. He came back on Labor Day and, following Doc up Bents & Dents, broke the driver side knuckle on his Dana 60!)
