    haha it was such a surreal scene when we pulled up to where you guys broke.

    We had been hauling ass, dodging race trucks, and smashing our way through rocks to get to MM35. When we got out, you guys had reggae music on, everyone was calm, Jerry asked me if I had any beer :eek:

    it was clutch that Pit B (you and Rob) got there so quick and had the 3rd member out by the time James arrived with the new 3rd member. It was PERFECT timing.

    When Me and Rob pulled up to the broken truck, I told them we were in 1st place (at least 30-45 minutes ahead) and lets do this right and not rush. I wanted to keep the vibes good.
    *Blasted the Reggae music and swapped out the 3rd member.
    In PERFECT timing, you guys pulled up and prepped the rest of the truck while me and Jerry finished the rear end

    One of the drivers, one of the navigators, and almost all the chase and pit crew got to know Engage thru TW, we should get a TW sticker on the race truck for future races :D

    If we stick together and pull through to make sure 1478 finishes the rest of the MORE races and remains #1 points then we wouldnt need a sticker for that :D

    Im definitely gonna stick it through all the state-side races this year.
