2005 Top Truck Challenge Results Expanded coverage of the 2005 Top Truck Challenge that would not fit in Four Wheeler magazine. We're not sure who's crazier- us smart-alecks here at Four Wheeler for devising the grueling Top Truck Challenge or the ten competitors who actually show up with their 4x4 rigs to compete in ninety-two hours of insanity in some of the worst terrain imaginable. Actually, the casual observer would probably say we're all nuts, but what do they know?

The High Speed Obstacle Course The High Speed Obstacle Course - This one reminds us of Tough Truck competitions due to the vast area covered as well as two strategically placed jumps that have many competitors wishing they use long travel suspension. Each team is required to run two laps through the course. A few drivers may try it in two wheel drive, however most of the rigs use the lead foot approach which can lead to excessive cone penalties. Each cone adds 10 seconds to the final time score.

The Rock Trail The Rock Trail - Much like the Mini-Rubicon at Hollister Hills OHV park, the Rock Trail course is full of boulders with axle snapping rocks strung over a slight incline. The difference is the placement of the finish line. It's at the top of a 4 foot ledge which forces most competitors to use heavy throttle application to even come close to cresting. With a set time limit of 10 minutes this obstacle really makes things interesting.

The Buzzard's Roost Trail The Buzzard's Roost Trail - A spectator favorite, this event provides more action than a James Bond flick. The course is roughly an 1/8-mile long and contains several deep mud holes separated by twisted turns and rocky outcroppings that each driver has to negotiate while the clock is ticking. One section forces each competitor to drop down a 3-foot ledge that provides plenty of pucker factor. Some of the teams opt to winch their way down for insured safety.

The Mud Bog The Mud Bog - Unlike the Mud Pit used in the TTC in Hollister, this obstacle is pre-run by the judges to make sure it is not too hard - or too easy. Each team has 10 minutes to complete the event, and winching is allowed.
