So whats the scoop on the race? Did you have to know the "secret" handshake or something? We were within 50 miles or so of there on friday.

You and Levi should have been invited to start. Poor decision on my part.

I had been planning since May and had many people back out within the last week. I limited the field to 15 vehicles which were mostly active trail wheelers from OK, KS & TX with just a couple guys that compete. Of course when guys don't compete a whole bunch it is easier for them to miss due to other commitments and lower priority for rock sports.

Buddy was supposed to race, Barry Beadle was supposed to race, it would have been awesome if you guys were there.

I suggested the invite for you guys back mid-summer, but Kevin already had a full field. Hell the field was full until Thursday afternoon when the dropping like flies happened.

EDIT: I repped the Lucky Dog though. Note the just below the hood......yeah I wonder who stuck that on there in the Attica Inn parking lot????

The motor will live again,

I may have to retract that statement.

When I saw hole in my windage tray I knew it was worse than expected. #7 broke and left enough rod on the crank to swing around and smake the #8 cylinder wall. Of course it left a pretty good ding / distortion at the bottom of the cylinder. I'm having a guy look at it tomorrow but anticipate the prognosis to be "buy another one".

Thats OK I understand. I thinkk distance races like this will come on strong. They will be hard to expect any spactators and should be kept simple and made to be fun. Our last course on sunday was a 5-7 min course, It was a blast! I co-piloted for Kim Smith in the 5-0 buggy. It was ALMOST as much fun as the whole weekend. Who is this?

Working of the Start Video. It was on an non digital camera. Have it on DVD now but can't get the puter to do anything with it. May have to stop by the video guru this afternoon. :dunno:

Baustin · Oct 7, 2008

I did find both the upper shock tabs on the pass side front and back axle bent. along with the busted 2.5 ton nuckel not to bad of a damage report compared to others.

1TONZR2 · Oct 8, 2008

Kevin, good luck gettin that 5.3 back together! you talked to David lately? I had my motor tore down last week before my trip to Harlan for the same reason (bent #7 rod, no other damage though)

I was standing up top with Russ Hogan and we were both thinking you were going to take the middle up...that line on the right was just to steep for your wheelbase and height and weight - you could tell that your tires were sticking twice as much as the others, mostly b/c you were much lighter, so it wasn't giving you the slide to the left - your rig was just going straight up!

Was a great learning experience for everyone around IMO!!
