## History

### 2009-2018

**Wild Ride** was one of the Founding Trucks that was made in 2009. It would make it to the 2009 Championship where it would finish 9th & 7th In Qualifying/Freestyle respectively but also lost in Round 1.

**Wild Ride** would take a step back in 2010 where it would finish 11th. But was just enough to make it to the 2010 Championship. In January 2011, Wild Ride would reveal at the 2010 Championship that it would run a new 2003 Chevy Body. Replacing the old, ugly 1998 Dodge Ram body. Wild Ride would come out 1st in Freestyle with a 25, which would be the highest score for the 1st truck out in the Championship until High Flying would beat it with a 31 in 2020.

**Wild Ride** was having high expectations in 2011 to have a good year, But it was a disapointment & Wild Ride wouldn't make it to the 2011 Championship. Wild Ride did have 1 highlight in 2011 Where it won its 1st & only Freestyle win in Tampa.

**Wild Ride** had a big step back in 2012 Where it won its 1st Racing win in Tokyo, The 1st International Win & it would make it back to the 2012 Championship & while it fell short in Qualifying/Racing, It really stuck up a great run in Freestyle where it got a 31 & finished 10th.

**When** MTWS came back in 2014 for the 5th Anniversary, Wild Ride hoped to have another great year like it did in 2009-2010, but still stayed around average but got into the 2014 Championship but had its worst showing. 20th in Qualifying, Lost in Round 1 & got 7 in Freestyle & finished 22nd.

**Wild Ride** hoped to rebound from its awful 2014 Finish but only finished 14th in the 2015 Season Standings, Which still was enough to make it to the 2015 Championship Where it won its 1st Race win in the Championship but still struggled in Freestyle with finishing 20th with a 23.

### 2019-2023 (New Era, 2020 Racing Champ)

**In 2019** for the 10th Anniversary, Wild Ride decided to go back to being a Dodge Ram for the 1st time since 2010 & had what was considered the beautifulest Paints of all the 10th Anniversary Paints. Another insane thing was Wild Ride became an elite Racer. It would make it to the finals for the 1st time Since 2015 before losing to Outlaw. Then in 2019 Baltimore, it made it back to the Finals to face Shatter! & it would win & get its 1st Racing win since 2012 Tokyo. Its unstoppable streak would end in 2019 Las Vegas where it lost to Crush N Run in Round 3 & ended up having one of the most violent flips in MTWS History in Freestyle where it ripped its front axle off on a violent crash into the van stack.

**2020** Would be the biggest moment for Wild Ride where it competed in the 2020 Championship where it has its best Qualifying of 7th Place & would make it all the way to the Finals to face Nitro & would win the Finals in a Photo-Finish to win the 2020 Racing Championship. Its 1st Title. Wild Ride would fall very short in Freestyle after flipping & breaking a 4 Link to only get a 15 & finished 39th. In these 4 events Wild Ride drove in from 2019-20, it was possibly the greatest Racing stretch in MTWS history. going 12-2, making it to the finals 3 times & winning 2 Racing events, with 1 being the 2020 Championship.

**In 2021**, Wild Ride would compete in Foxborough, but it would struggle in its 1st Race as the Racing Champion & only make it to the Quarter-Finals.

**2022** Would be Wild Ride's 1st Season as the Racing Champion. At 1st, 2022 was a strong start for Wild Ride. It would win Racing in Salinas & a Month later would win Racing again in Arlington. However the 2nd half of the season was a major regression for Wild Ride. Going from 11-3 with one of the best Racing Records, to 1-6 & finishing at 12-9. One of the biggest collaspes in MTWS History. Wild Ride still did enough to make it back to the Championship. There it would get 6th In Qualifying, Wild Ride would show that it was still a major threat as it would beat Eruption, Impala, & Thunderbolt to make it back to the Finals, 1st time the Racing Champ did that since 2014 MTWS Championship, It would once again Face Nitro who was #1 Qualifier again in the rematch, just like in 2014. What was thought to be another classic Photo-Finish race. Would end in Disaster for Wild Ride who would hit the Jersey walls after the turn & almost flipped. Allowing Nitro to take over & win to dethrone Wild Ride's Championship. After many years, Wild Ride would do good in Freestyle, but it was only a 26 which finished 17th. Wild Ride would win Racing after over a year in West Lebanon & would make the 2023 MTWS Championship.
