    LOL exactly! The ttora build thread is restricted to only my own posts. :)

    My dad and my brother are each going to have some time in the passenger seat for Primm. My dad has first seating last time and I never made it to the pit for my brother to hop in, so this year my brother's in the seat for the start of the race.

    Courtesy of martie, a couple of pics from last year:

    Awaiting race start. The Lexus is to the left and my truck is to the right with the 2 blue guys in front of it.

    I know Perry Mcneil who races class 7... (sorry to say in ford rangers!:eek:) haha but they were helping out team Amigo Tec who are the defending back to back class 5 champs... they also have a class 12 buggy that has been doing reallly good in CODE but seems to have bad luck in SCORE races!

    It was definitely a great time and a long day full of adrenaline! I've done quads before but this was way cooler! specially when your doing a pit stop and you get a crowd of about 50 people around you watching you run around from tirews to gas and they cheer you guys on>

    They were all trying to i could here over the radio Everyone was contacting SCORE ops. and weatherman and they were talking to the mayor of ojos but it was the military so they could say anything!! it was total BS man. There were reports of guys who were running out of gas and had to stop at other pits because the chase teams couldn't get there in time!!
