Man, looks like i missed out on some excitement. What the heck happened to the blue rex. I hope nothing else went wrong on this run. I guess you all passed Ryan while he was resting up somewhere out there on his motorbike run. Man, what a day you all must have had. Man I wish I could have come along. Post more pics.

Now here is my damage....I was following Max who let out a really loud backfire which scared a squirl who ran out in front of me...what could I have done, basically nothing so I had to run over the little guy, 1st casualty, his lifeless body was kicked up about ohhh, 4 feet into the air behind me and almost landed on the hood of the wagon behind me. Then, Marco's car, 2nd casualty, then, uh hem....a "deer" ran out in front of me a little further down the road and I swerved to avoid it, ended up pitching all the way to the left, *** end out like crazy, counter steering, pitching back all the way to the right, up the embankment, Im now facing backwards, coming down off the embankment, still spinning, and then I look out my drivers side window only to watch my side mirror explode as I destroy a mile marker. Then continue to spin and end up facing more or less forward in the right lane. Im really very lucky as there was a bit of a asphault curb on the side of the road, which I guess I cleared when I went up and down....otherwise I would probably have a broken rim and popped tire. So there is the 3rd and final casualty.
