Here my spotter Ginger takes a break in the shade, which was pretty hard to find out there :flamer: 8)
This was only the 2nd or 3rd time Ginger has been out on the trails and she is getting much more comfortable with it. Shes learning how to scale some big boulders while throwing her fear of height into the wind. She has also gained confidence to jump out of and into my truck :greengrin: Good Girl!

Our Formula Toy gives a High-Five after Lee figured out what the problem was with it. If anyone was out at the W.E. Rock event in AZ a couple of weeks ago, you'll know how awful our Formula Toy did. It would not run right and had NO power for Marlin, our team driver. It was REALLY frustrating so much that we had to pull out of the event early! :tantrum: :maddest: Lee and I worked on the buggy Friday night to no avail. We even decided that our buggy was not able to participate in Outer limits that day, but sometime after lunch, we were about half way through the trail, and here came the :turtle: MC F-Toy! Lee found out that foam from our fuel cell (which had been removed months ago) had managed to get into the fuel line and was plugging up in front of the fuel pump!! AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG That was the WHOLE PROBLEM all this time. We knew it was a fuel delivery issue, but with the aftermarket EFI system and data logger, there are just too many variables to consider when troubleshooting such a condition, especially when it would seem to run fine for a while and then just start craping out for no reason.

So with our F-Toy healthy again, we hope to place very high in the next F-Toy event :thumbs: :greengrin: :beerchug:

And here is a pic with 4.3 headache, Evil Toy, and my rig :cool:
