Thank you. Yes, I went with 18 people and were only 10ft from the wreck but we all came out un-harmed. This accident was the most horrible thing I have ever seen, I can not describe how I have felt over the last few days. 3 my friends from the group are trained in the medical field, Navy, Fire Fighter and an EMT. They helped as many as they could till the end. My friend in the navy had to call one of the victims families and tell them what had happened, luckily that person is expected to fully recover. It was a very sad event for the whole off-road racing community.

My prayers are with the victims and their families.

This sucks and like it was said previously, it's the sport that will suffer. Not the promoters. We had a similar thing here in Salt Lake. The concert promoters sold too many seats to an AC/DC concert in the standing room only section. Some teenagers got trampled to death and AC/DC was banned from playing here for 10 years, like it was the bands fault.

Very said news though, my deepest sympathy to those who were involved, especially the families who lost a loved one. The promoters should be shut down, people shouldn't be that close to the action.

i can see this thread is gunna go the worng way but im gunna state one thing about that. You can not prtect eveyone in a desert race, its common knowledge to not stand so darn close to the road. you wouldnt stand right next to a freeway with no barrier would you? MORE can only set so many rules and enforce so much of them with the staff they have. Unless they started to charge BITD prices, i doubt they could mandate the rules and regs BITD uses (you will be very hard press to see that kind of crowding in a BITD race with trucks at full race speed, BITD doesnt allow it).

Anyhow, I think we need to start another thread for discussion so we dont derail Race's thread on his truck build

with all that being said, are there any updates on the truck lately?

 

[SnC RangeR]

i saw some more pics of your truck! http://www.off-roadweb.com/events/0...est_2010_prerunners_at_pismo_beach/index.html

 

[RaceRanger97]

Thanks SnC! I saw those recently.

Um haven't done much. I converted my two front Hella 500's into 6k HIDs which helped alot and I redid the whole exhaust. It now has stock header, no cats, 2.5" into a single chamber. Its a little on the loud side but I rarely drive it on the street anymore so its ok.

Found a bunch of random footage that I put togather of the truck over the last year:
