Yeah I'm trying to figure out the same thing! There was a lot more
water at Daktoberfest. Its probably just a string of coincidences. The
jeeps just seem to have a weak design as far as the alternator locations
(and distributors) go - that seems to have been the main problem there.
The one jeep climbing the waterfall with a locker and small axles -
that was bound to happen. I'm not sure what started Dakota's problem,
but the waterfall definitely didn't help. :-) The Adam Blaster, well
lets just say I'm surprised he hasn't broken earlier! ;-) Andy's Dak -
I'm guessing that's a water related problem?
The mud pit didn't seem to be too much of a challenge for anyone -
it was definitely harder after it was stirred up, but it didn't seem
like a sticky sort of mud that would drag you down...
I dunno - I'm still trying to figure it out!
