ULTIMATE ADVENTURE 2010:

Good luck to one of Rigid's own Andrew Wahlstrom!

We just wanted to send out a quick GOOD LUCK to our very own Andrew Wahlstrom in the 2010 Petersons 4Wheel and Offroad ULTIMATE ADVENTURE!

Andrew has been working day in and out in order to prep his truck for this adventure. Recent add on's were a new set of tires, a roll cage, new ball joints, a little front end re-enforcement, a cb, new winch cable, and much much more. The above picture was the last one he took before he left. He headed down last week to meet up with Peterson's Crew and kicked off the adventure Sunday morning. Of coarse we can't divulge any information about the adventure, but I will update on Andrews Ranger and how it's running. Last update I got was that he had arrived safely and was heading to bed early to kick off the adventure the next morning!

Andrew will be headed back at the end of the week and I'll be sqeezing him for any information he's alllowed to release.

Don't forget Wahlstom does have access to Rigid so be sure to send him a message and wish him luck!

High Riders Challenge 2010

What an awesome weekend of wheeling!

Saturday was hot as hell, sunday was wet and cold, but what an incredible weekend put on by the High Riders! Rigid had a few members in this competition as well. They had changed the coarse this year with more of a back hill, a bypass for the large bog, and a cutout tree line to pass "The Big Stink" (which nobody took). The track change worked far better than any other style they have had at Tail Creek Raceway. All in all it was a good time, both watching and the party afterwards!

Our own BRINK placed 9th (not too bad considering he finished his rig and was in the drivers seat for only 3 hours!) Great job Eric, can't wait to see the full fury of the 500!


SOUPMAN still holds the track record of 53 Seconds from last season, but had a tough time catching up after a Timed Out run due to a broken link and a missed gate in his second run. Still this little buggy earned a respectable 13th Place. Well Done Dever, as usual!


And our final member who earned 7th place and was in the running for a King of the Hammers Qualifying Spot was none other than JOEY WEBER! One of the only down falls on Joey's runs was the stink bog and he had gotten hung up in the frame twister. Good overall runs and how this guy knows his rig is what earned him his position. Awesome job Joey, I love hearing that 4.0L scream!


A very big thanks to the High Riders for putting on another great year of action packed offroading, and to all the competitors who gave it their all. Hopefully next year I will have a few more RSO Members to write about on here!
