Are those "donuts" on the grips? Awesome! Those bring back memories of the BMX days when I was a kid. lol

Done with full weekend trips for the season. Still gonna get one or two more day trips in with the Rappy. Part time? Hardly. Since September, I've done 12 full weekend trips this season including Dumont, Glamis, and Coral Pink. And no, no Easter for me. I never really do Easter anyhow. To tell you the truth...I am burned out and feel great about it. I've done TONS of duning this season and have had one of the best seasons ever. All the toys are in great need of attention now. Time to get em back in shape for some trips up north to cooler weather. I'm gonna take my time though. My wallet needs a fuggin break!

Randog sent me this one today. Man I really wish I could do one more weekend out there with the rest of the guys, but I'm done.

Hey man can you blame him? Have you seen some of those vacuums? They're fuggin hot! WTF is wrong with people?

Not sure why the hell these guys were down there or if they had anything to do with the race, but they sure attracted alot of attention.

what no trip report or pics, rushjunkie?

Congrats to you two, Becky & John. Looks like you did very well putting that together. I really like the sandrails lined up in the background. That's awesome!

yeah but I'm going riding tomorrow so I will be missing it. Oh well.

X3 ^ That frame setup you have will take alot of money to finish. Not to mention due to the age of it the frame may be brittle or already have cracks. But if you are committed you can buy a ton of used VW and buggy parts for pretty cheap on sites like http://www.race-dezert.com/cgi-bin/trader/atl.cgi and craigslist.

oh yeah, I forgot to post up earlier that............ Randog won

thanks Mark

And I'm glad she did! BTW, that whateva was a reference to something else, Chad--->

Just got back from downtown. Pretty good handful of race cars and other cool chit down there. I ran into McGyver Bobby too.

fuggin alky!

good times And I didn't bust my a$$, I burned the hell out of my leg on the tire. No fair, string only won cause I got bored and started doing tricks.

Damn Bob, you have some great material. It even made front page of the newspaper today!

Funny as hell, but that still doesn't explain how I "got my azz rocked"
