I'm sure its going to be asked so I'll just ask it now.

Why the TG sticker on the side? I thought this vehicle is owned by MCI

Either way I don't care but. Its good to see the rig winning an event. Great pictures!

Trail Gear, along with Marlin Crawler, PRP seats, and Front Range Off Road are the Formula Toyota Series sponsors. All the competition rigs are required to run all of the series sponsor stickers to be eligible for the points championship and the payout $$$$

Sucks to have to do that but it's in the rules, but everyone knows this and that there would not be a single piece of TG equipment on the Crawler. The best thing is those guys are kickin' butt.

Congrats! Keep up the winning pace!

Actually, TG was not at the event, did not sponsor the event, and hence NONE of the rigs participating were required to display their logo.

Right, since this was ProRock and not WeRock and therefore not an official Formula Toyota Championship Points competition. I was just trying answer the question of why there is a TG sticker on the rig.

For gotrocks, consider that those rules do apply to everyone, so at a WeRock event the TG rig would have to have a Marlin sticker and Brian's Front Range rig has to have both Marlin and TG (as well as everybody running the FROR and PRP stickers regardless of what seats they run).

Definitely. And it's not like we are going to cover up some sticker just for 1 event, that is pretty childish.

Thanks guys! Yep, we took it again. I don't know how long we can keep up this winning streak but you can bet that we plan to do our best for the rest of the season.
As always, the MC formula Toy worked GREAT. We installed a Diamond Axle housing in the rear befor this event with a set of All Pro disc brakes. WOW, what a difference the disc brakes make. The Diamond axle looks bad ass under there also. We'll get the front Diamond housing in after the Cedar City event.

We pulled off some pretty sick lines this weekend trying to push the limits of the driver and spotter so we can be ready for the W.E. Rock #3 event in Cedar City in 2 weeks. I put it on it's side once, but was able to drive out of it thanks to Mustard dog's excellent spotting.

Thanks to Marlin and Christine for driving all the way out to Farmington to support us.

Were trying our hardest to take the Series in both WE Rock and ProRock this year, so wish us luck and if you see us at one of the events, Stop by and say hi.

What a great weekend....I've never been to Farmington and the rocks there in Chokecherry are awesome, and the city was cool too, wish I had some time to stroll through thier Historic District.

It was really a bummer there were only three F-Toys, and only two and a fith on Sunday, at the comp, but as usuial we had a great time competing with each other. Bummer for Pat that his spotter Chad got super sick Sat night after fighting off a flu, but we gave gave him HT as a replacement. They were gettin with thier plan on the first course then stripped the front R&P and packed it up.

Gotta say after 4 comps Team Marlin Crawler is gettin a little smoother and working together well. Huge thanks go out to Marlin, Christine and the guys in the shop for lettin us flog the rig in these comps, hope we're doing you all good.

So funny....I spent a bunch of time talking to that hot-ass reporter on Sat, even doing a video deal thinking,"Sweet, Team MC is gonna be all OVER the Sunday paper"....I slam a bunch of quarters into the machine on our way to the comp site Sunday gettin ready to be basked in the glorious sunshine that is publicity only to be pregnant dog-slapped by an article all about Pat and Chad :laughing:

Mustard Dog · « **Reply #15 on:** Jun 10, 2008, 08:42:51 PM »

Wow, this site has some interesting auto-edit deal going on :laughing:

I guess you could say that they didn't finish?

The only thing I'm a *tiny* bit sad about is how it hardly looks like a Toyota anymore. Any way to tweak the shape or body panels to make it look more Toyota-like?
