Feeling sorry for the race track here!

Does it go without saying that these trucks all have a very sophisticated suspension?

I think the edges of the track are just suggestions for these guys...:)

This and WRC are the most fun to watch in the motorsports world right now.

My first love, in motorsports, is Baja. But that is pretty boring in reality. Hours of waiting and moments of pandemonium. Just like shark fishing.....

These guys have all the excitement of Baja, vehicles that actually moved around on the track. Really neat stuff.

Seeing them go through the esses reminds me of stock cars at Riverside in the 60's - 80's period.

I would agree, speed, tactics, crazy air, and even a little vehicle carnage. :banana:

This is the brain child of Robby Gordon, so if you know him, you know it had to be ridiculous.
