FREESTYLE
| Rambo had to bow out
after the wheelie competition due to mechanical problems. The rest of the field took
off the gloves and let it all hang out in the freestyle competition. |

This was
the first time we saw Wild Hair, and both truck and driver were impressive. Jason
Witte has one hot Chevy! The truck has a beautiful paint job that looks like
different colors depending on the lighting, and how far away you are standing. Jason
won the freestyle and side-by-side events on Friday night. He would prove to be a
formidible opponent on Saturday too. He put in an outstanding freestyle performance. |

John Seasock is the
perennial Sportsman of the Year, and always a crowd favorite. He made a very nice
freestyle run in Sudden Impact. He topped it off with his own version of the old Tom
Meents wing walk, putting the truck on auto-pilot as he climbed out onto the roof of the
cab to wave to the fans. |

Diehl
Wilson and Virginia Giant start any freestyle competition with an advantage. Any
truck that looks as good as the Giant has 10 points in the bank before it even hits the
first jump. That, combined with luck of the draw in following Wild Hair was the
difference on Saturday night. Both Virginia Giant and Wild Hair gave excellent
freestyle performances. The Giant got the win, but I would have hated to try to
judge them. They were both too good to lose. |

| Guy Wood brought
Bulldozer out for a good, although short, freestyle run. He hit the cars twice, and
then the engine started acting up. Rather than risk falling out of the side-by-side
racing competition, Guy wrapped things up early, and headed for the pits to make some
adjustments. |
