July 23rd Grand Rapids Michigan was the host of Round
2 of the Jeep King of the Mountain Series this past weekend. This event was in
conjunction with the one on one Mini Camp Jeep festival which seen plenty of spectators
for the weekend events. The weather was hot and humid and a great race course
was built for the riders to put on a great show for the crowd. With $100,000 and
a free 2 year lease on a Jeep Vehicle up for grabs, the racing was intense. This

time" on the CBS Sports channel. For more information and air dates go to

the day. I had a great start to the day with qualifying
1st in the Men's field with Prokolp in 2nd, Lopes 3rd. In the first round i had
2 clean runs and easily qualified to the Semi final. The next round I come up
against long time reveal, Mike King. King went to early on the start and hit the
gate which gave me another clean run to the finish with the maximum advantage
of 1 sec. The second round I took it easy and safe by following King down the
course and be within the 1 sec time gap to advance to the final round. It was
then Prokolp and myself in the final event. In the first run Prokolp had the faster
course and beat me by 0.7 of a sec. In the Second round I took the lead and had
a good run but was not far enough in front as I only won by 0.48 of a sec. This
meant that Prokolp won the overall by .22 of a sec.
