I have to partially agree with you, while the rules were followed I believe the rules were way too vague with too much leeway in both the stock and mod classes. Hopefully next year the rules for the two classes will be MUCH more restrictive on what can be changed on the vehicles. I hope to see "every man" racers instead of ultra high priced purpose built racers that no one can compete with without a 100k budget.
Nice job on the build and driving PSC, not putting down your quality build or dedication to your racer in anyway!

I don’t think the rules were vague at all, maybe they weren’t to your liking, but they weren’t vague. Remember…this wasn’t the Stock class. I don’t understand why anyone would want or expect us to build anything below our very best. It’s not a jab, I just don’t get why someone would be upset that we built the best car we could, within the rules and our abilities.

Like I said I don't feel you guys did anything wrong! I feel the rules were too loose and allowed for too many mods. You built your rig within the rules, but the rules discouraged people (like me) from even trying once they saw what the competition (you, Savvy) were building. I'd like to see an "every man" race instead of a $$$$$$$ race.
I'm not putting you or anyone else down. Good luck to you guys next time.

Like many of you I too followed the build of this awesome PSC rig...then over at KOH just one day prior to the race Larry took about 30 minutes out of his day to talk to a group of us about everything from the build to the race to jeeping in general. Add to that the fact he lead a group of KOH volunteer clean up peeps like me through a trail and narrated just one day after competing in the KOH and I'd have to say that Larry and Poison Spyder Customs impressed the hell out of me! 
Congrats again on the Smitty Bilt Every Man Challenge win and for doing so well in the KOH LCQ round Larry both Brenda (blonda) and I are new PSC fans
