After looking your right. He was an alternate in 02' and won in 03'. Youd think that 3 to 4 yours ago wouldnt run together so well in my head. lol
Unfortunately, the TTC has "evolved" (I say that sarcastically) to the point where if you haven't been a contestant yet..... you probably never will be.
The price of admission seems to be 49's and Rockwells and plenty of $$$. There really isn't much "truck" in the vehicles that run there anymore.
I understand that every year it needs to get crazier to sell more magazines, but the vehicles that compete now don't "inspire" me...they are trailer-only, non-street legal rigs...
Real Truck Challenge (or something along those lines) is I guess where the mortals among us should be looking to compete????

I think you would be better off trying out for real truck challenge. I've gone to watch it two years in a row now and I really like it. This year they had two classes, under 35" tire and 35-39" tire. No tire over 39" are allowed.
One of the contestants was wheeling a 4runner with stock axles, welded rear I think, no lift 33"s. I overheard someone say that he had less than $2000 in that truck

TimmAY was in the first real truck comp
how sweet would it be tho, to be in a built full bodied truck in the TTC and beat a comp buggy
