I tell people I had my wife and my ex-wife fooled. All my closest friends are like, Damn, how did you keep that a secret? Carl Jantz, on keeping secret his win in the History Channel show, Alaska Off-Road Warriors. History did not want the winners disclosed until after the series completed airing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
POULSBO Carl Jantz has tackled the demands of owning a small business and has forged a career out of Jantz Engineering. He has challenged cancer against all odds and beat it. <\/p>\n
And now, Jantz has defeated the Alaska wilderness and the best off-road racers the state could throw at him. <\/p>\n
I think we had a lot more experience in off-road, Jantz said of his edge in the History Channels TV show Off-Road Warriors. <\/p>\n
Jantz and Super Jeep a 1942 Jeep that Jantz keeps under constant modification beat four other teams in a race across Alaska for the competition TV show. <\/p>\n
Jantz, of Poulsbo, didnt do it alone. In the passenger seat the whole way was Rich Rudman of Kingston. They were the only team from outside Alaska. The show filmed over summer 2014, with all five teams racing across the Alaskan terrain for a $100,000 prize. <\/p>\n
Jantz split the prize money with Rudman first, then he split his own share with Super Jeep to pay for some upgrades. He built a new office for his business, then he went on vacation. <\/p>\n
While the race was over long before the show premiered on Nov. 30, Jantzs neighbors and friends had to wait until its conclusion in January to find out he won. <\/p>\n
The fact is, they shot two different endings, Jantz said. We were pretty sure we had it. I told everybody that they shot a few endings so we didnt know, but we had a pretty good idea. <\/p>\n
