Positive Side to the MDR California 200

With all the emphasis on the tragic vids of the race, I thought I would put together a quick clip of the essence of the desert race scene.

Enjoy.

Good work.

 

I still need to get to one of these, looks amazing! And go for a ride in an Engage truck!

 

forget the ride... i want me an offroad ice cream truck now...

 

Bwaahahahaha I'm sure you guys could fab some crazy shit up!

 

well, HBMURPHY does have a DC powered fridge in his truck, so he is halfway there....

hahahaha

 

It's cool. Just don't understand why people stand so damn close.

 

Nicely done, Mike. Thanks for sharing.

 

Sad those ppl had to die though...

 

That one red truck came thru all whistlin and shit. SC? The essence of anything breaks and people get mowed down. I for one don't need to be that close. I'd be on the inside of some curve or on some overlook and not even that close to the course. Thinkin I'll just stick to watchin from the house with AC, recliner, ice cold refreshing beverages, wife in lap, blimp shots, onboard shots, shots from all around the course, snacks from the kitchen etc etc etc.........but hey that's just me. All those who need to burn up in the heat, get caked with dust, smell the exhaust just to stand around and watch vehicles fly by have fun. Seen enuff from those angles. Only thing that's never enuff is seeing all the hot chicks that show up...but that goes for any events anywhere anytime. Dodge the dodges, duck the buggies, sidestep the chevy's, yield to the yotas, keep alert, have fun and live to see the next race ya hear.

 

mike, you creeper... spying on the chick in the cowboy hat...haha

 

x100000 taking a ride in an Engage truck is something I would love to do at some point when I head out there. maybe next summer.

 

if it was the one i think you are talking about midway through the clip, it was a horn.... thats what it sounded like to me in the headphones. that very first truck that went by as soon as the clip started was definitely a SC.

 

cool video. looked like a cool event until all the madness went down.

 

sweet vid Mike!

 

X2!

 

the last truck jumped perfectly!

 

Excellent work as usual Mike, this is why I follow this guys threads people, (as alot do ) I haven't seen anyone in this forum that is more Pro-Active & dedicated to the whole offroad concept from putting together runs, to having an active role in a sanctioned event, to helping heal the wounds that tragedy left... Props to you man...

 

I'll put the good parts on youtube of the car flying by at a different area of the race if you guys wanna see a different part of the course?
