00:00 Welcome back, we're with Ed Van Vickle and his 87 Wrangler as he takes on the buzzer.
00:06 There's very little hesitation and a lot of control.
00:26 Turn it, turn it, turn it.
00:29 Right now, turn it.
00:37 Right now, turn it.
00:54 Well, Ed comes up with a run of four minutes flat.
00:57 Chris Anderson in that '79 CJ7.
01:04 Yeah, this is a strong little Jeep.
01:07 It sounds like he's having some carburetor issues.
01:15 You know, now with all the fuel injections that are on the market, this is becoming less and less common.
01:20 [engine revving]
01:23 [tires screeching]
01:29 He gets a little off course. He goes left when he should have gone right.
01:48 [engine revving]
01:51 He straightens it out and ends up with a time of 8 minutes and 16 seconds.
01:58 [horn honks]
02:01 Butch Williams in his tidy looking Bronco.
02:04 [engine revving]
02:09 [engine revving]
02:12 Oh, good control.
02:23 [engine revving]
02:27 [engine revving]
02:30 This drop off is where some guys are losing a lot of time.
02:45 You see, it's really tough for them to get off of that rock in a right turn and make it before they hit that tree.
02:50 [engine revving]
02:56 [tires screeching]
02:59 [horn honks]
03:03 Butch brings it in at 4.51.
03:08 [horn honks]
03:11 On the gas is Russ Fichtelman.
03:14 [engine revving]
03:23 You know Tony, Joss Duerr was right. It seems that the more vehicles that go down this big rock ledge, the slicker it gets.
03:29 Well, the good news is, it's going to get worse.
03:32 [engine revving]
03:36 Turn down, turn down.
03:40 Nice and easy.
03:44 Got it, right there.
03:47 Go, go, go, go.
03:50 [engine revving]
03:53 Oh!
03:55 [engine revving]
03:59 Oh!
04:01 Oh, crap.
04:03 [horn honks]
04:05 Russ escapes the buzzards' roost in 5.03.
04:09 Fixed the steering box for a guy. We fixed, going up we were going to go wash this to try and do a few things on this.
04:17 We found another guy with a tractor, so we helped him fix that. Came back, welded it, took some stuff off, put some stuff on.
04:22 We were just helping everybody out last night, trying to get everybody running.
04:25 What did you have to do on this?
04:27 We ended up washing it and then we ended up going to sleep.
04:29 Really? You had no problems? Instead of getting rest, you went and hung out with these other guys?
04:34 Yeah, trying to make everybody work, trying to be helpful as much as possible.
04:38 We're probably not going to win anyway, but we're going to have fun no matter what. I mean, shoot, we already are here.
04:43 That is excellent.
04:46 Well, Jeff is off. And isn't that what this event is really all about? Teamwork, camaraderie and fun.
05:14 This little tractor combined with his driving is very impressive.
05:17 I'll tell you, being a short wheelbase doesn't seem to hurt it a bit.
05:21 [Music]
05:50 Jeff lost a ton of time with that last turn and has to settle for a six and a half minute run.
05:55 Run.
05:56 (upbeat music)
