Marcus broke the front passenger u-joint in TNT (the first obstacle we went to). We spent the next hour sweating our balls off while he fixed it. He was about to pass out. The heat was horrible. My rig continued to overheat and rough start. I'm sure 107 degree heat didn't help matters. At one point it wouldn't even idle. Then the passenger rear shock mount on my rig got ripped off. But after closer inspection it seems the guys at ECGS didn't weld it on. Only two tacks. No wonder it came off. When that happened, I called it a day and headed home. I took that as a sign that it wasn't my day.
As for the "event", I was disappointed. But I'm sure it mostly had to do with the heat. I got separated from our group twice and when I did I drove the complete loop around the park to see the big rigs playing. All I seen was a full parking lot of trailers but nobody on the trails. Apparently they were all hiding out in the campers and cabins with the A/C.
Never again for me. That heat was too much. Maybe if my jeep was running right and I could have been running my A/C instead of my heater (trying to cool the engine down), it may have been better.
