Long Travel BS Thread

haha tyler that was a good one

 

He races for overall points too not just each race win. So every lap, every race counts towards big picture too

 

The accident had nothing to do with brakes. (the fronts were still fine, i only lost 1 brake pad in the rear)

It was to do with a dumb ass dirtbike rider who pulled right in front of us with no time to react. I was going 55 MPH+ in a wide open section with a 1/2 second to react. I had a decision to make:
Kill the Idiot or flip my truck to avoid him. I chose to flip my truck and not kill him. Simple as that.

All what matters is that no one got hurt. Trucks are replaceable, people are not.

On a side note, we flipped that fucker back over, put air in the tires drove to the finish and still got 3rd place!!! We were in 1st place with only 20 miles to go before the accident. We had the win!


Heres a pic right after the roll before we got it back on the track

 

they guy offer to pay you anything at least? kinda owes you a tad..haha

 

holy cow Brian..you're the man and glad that nobody got hurt!

 

NO, they would not say a word to me. They knew they fucked up. There was 10 bikes and only one guy said something. "Thanks for not killing my friend" then they rode off in to the desert

 

seriously??? you save his life....fuck up your truck so you didnt take his life. and no compensation other than flipping you over?? WOW

 

What??! that's it??

dude..id be thanking you up and down and kissing your feet for not running my ass over.

What a bunch of assholes.

 

That was after the race.

 

hey brian, you got a paypal? i can drop a few bucks towards the truck. its people like you that keep the sport going and make it as great as it is. glad no one was hurt.

 

And that sir, is how a boss races. Well done congrats on the podium and a clear conscience. Cheers to you and a beer with your name written on it in my shop.

 

Greg, thats really cool of you to offer that! I appreciate it. But Im going to try to pull some strings and connections to get the truck going. Even though I dont have the $$ to fix it, ill make it happen.

****If anyone knows anybody who has a Bare toyota single cab 1984-1988 let me know.

I need to put a new cab on and New cab roll cage. And Fiberglass all the way around.
We rolled 4 or 5 times and surprisingly none of my suspension is bent. Front or rear. I inspected it, I drove it on the street today and it goes straight. When we finished the last 20 miles of the race, Motor, tranny and rear end felt solid. So im hoping I can just get a 84-88 Toyota Cab and have Sick Nick re-do my cab cage. That stupid dirtbiker will Still cost me thousands $$$ though

 

iirc fabien had one that he was stripping down, not sure if the cab was still in decent shape though or if he even has it anymore. sorry about the truck though... good thing everyone's alright

ahahah anthony... yeah dirtbikers suck

 

doesnt dtf have one he is debating on building or selling?

 

There's one in my area...I'll see what the guys wants for it for you and forward some info to you, it's on a corner by my station

couple cheap pickups.

 

Bryan, I'm glad to hear that your alright after that. I'm not surprised that you were able to pull out 3rd place after the wreck. After getting that short ride in the truck last week in Barstow, I am amazed at how well your truck is dialed in. Best of luck in getting the truck back together quickly.

Your comment about trucks are replaceable and people aren't is something that I wish more people understood.

 

Sounds like it was a hell of a weekend...


Took these today with some of the other TW SoCal guys. That's Rylee's truck and mine.

 

HUBBA HUBBA...
