It starts at 3PM Central, got it on the timer. Glad they changed it, the Cowboys and Redskins play at 7:20PM.

I noticed there are no penalties for saftey violations.( leaving the excavator bucket in the air before leaving the cap) That should be added to the game.

You guys did a pretty good run or two.

Just watched a bit of this show, all I can say is WOW. If these are experienced operators.....I think my step daughter could do better and she's only had about half an hour on a D6H and some catting around with a PC300.

Where's that entry form. Don't think I'll waste any DVR time on this.

You'll like this show if you watch Gold Rush and Axemen without screaming/throwing thing at the television. I personally won't give this show a second chance.

Thanks for the replies guys! Especially the nice ones:D

The show was a blast to be a part of and I made some really good friends for life. I was very happy on how the show turned out.

I will say these challenges took a lot more skill than they made it look like. And lets face it if all we did was real world stuff with the equipment the general public wouldn't watch it.

And some people think they could have done it better, thats fine, but when the camera starts to roll and your nerves come up and you only have one chance at the challenge, its a lot harder than you think. I have a hole new perspective on competition shows.

Tom, check myself and dirtman on YouTube and let me know if were experienced.:)
