What a crazy week.

After going a GPS confirmed 94.09mph in a rockcrawler, running through the silt when its so dusty you can't see the GPS or gauges 2' in front of you, hoping your not going to find the car in front of you stopped, taking corners that you'd be driving at 30mph on pavement at 65mph on a rutted gravel/dirt road... I now fully understand why people say your running on the edge of control when they are talking about desert racing.

I got to codrive for 170miles of desert roads,rocky goat trails, Silt beds, dodging telephone poles at 65mph and no mechanical failures. Day 1 we kicked some serious butt, If it wasn't for the some cooked fuel pumps and broken hoses that took us out of the race days 2 and 3 we would of got a podium finish without a doubt.

I have to say it, Jason and Trevor you guys built one hell of a rockcrawler. When DSI gets the new fuel system in he'll be kicking some ass. :beer:

:haha: no stains here. After the first few miles I got settled in. Dave's a good driver, I felt comfortable and we got into the groove. :awesomework:

When we stopped at the finish I was disappointed that was the end of my ride. :redneck:

LOL after a few miles you will either puke in your helmet or settle in.


Nice job. To bad the fuel issues came up or you would have probably won.

I think many people had fuel issues. Many rigs stopping for a few minutes then back up and going again. We (RGR 7302) had some vaporlocking issues until we removed our hood which seemed to help some.
