Its funny how they know best yet if there was a shooting range being contemplated, they would tell you no due to the mustard plant!!!

Funny thing, I asked him a number of times, "You want some help with the 12 car?" The last time they took it out was the Baja from last year! "No that's okay, let's just run it!"

Frack me..
This is turning into one of my favorite threads, thanks for updating it Murphy..
That Bug is pretty cool! What happened towards the end of the video?

Hey thanks! Transmission went - it was supposed to be bullet proof! I guess we must need one that's grenade proof!
He was doing great up until that problem!!! :eek:

The spotter was telling him to go passenger long before he actually did it. That sucks because that looked to be a nice rig.

Yeah, we're bound to start wining some time soon!
I'm sure... that thing was passing others like they where painted on a wall. Its hard to judge from the small video from Youtube, but damn, going that fast and not running over something you shouldn't appears to be a challenge... at least it would be for me.

The word 'gingerly' comes to mind!!!
The thing is set up very well! The design of the suspension is from a guy that has won MANY class 11 races!

But as long as you mentioned it, you should see the collection of rims in his garage!!! ...and mine too'!!!!
Just changed a flat yesterday - sidewall finally blew out! Made a nasty dent on one of my new rims while racing in Death Valley!!! Bummer but at least some dude stopped to help me!

A guy that I know that works at Toyota had a friend out there and that was ONE OF TWO in that group - they decided to take a different line after that!!! I know it's counter intuitive but when I know I'm going, I try to accelerate down the fall line. Doesn't look like he had a chance!!!

Those TRD "Beadlock" style rims? Those appear to be pretty stout... but I suppose at speed anything is bound to give in. I saw the wheels you have at Toyota of Dallas (TRDParts4U) and they are sweeeeeet!

As I listen to it again, it sounds like he's putting his locker on!!!
That could explain his slow response time.
Yeah, sounds like I heard a compressor kick in towards the top. But damn.. I just hope nobody was injured.

Exactly... if I accelerate to the bottom its less distance to fall.
I prefer to go up vs. down.
