He Scored More Points Than Anyone In UCC History

Myer just made history at UCC 2026, becoming the first competitor to ever break the 3,000 point barrier with a total score of 3,393. This week Will sits down with Myer and guest Josh McCormack, a UCC 2025 competitor, to break down every run, every number, and every decision that went into the most dominant performance the event has ever seen. Across three days of competition, Myer opened on the drag strip with a 4.903, followed it up with 3,620 horsepower on the Super Flow dyno to bank more than 1,200 points in that session alone, and closed out the weekend with a 355 foot sled pull. The crew breaks down the tuning decisions, the overnight chassis conversion between dyno day and sled pull day, and what it actually takes to put up competitive numbers across all three disciplines in a single weekend. Having Josh in the room as a past UCC competitor adds real perspective to the debrief. The guys talk through what separated the top finishers from the rest of the field, why the West Coast teams dominated the leaderboard, and why pre-event testing at the drag strip and dyno is the difference between contending and just showing up. They also get into the sled pull setup, what happened on Myer's pull, and what the points game looks like when you are genuinely building toward something no one has ever done before. This is an honest debrief from the guys who built the truck, drove it, and rewrote the record books at one of the most demanding diesel performance competitions in the country.
