MCGYVER Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 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. Dunno why there were there either ? But on a scale from one to gay .... They were pretty gay . Lots of cool rides , a few throw back vehicles from back in the day . I remember in the 70's - 80's this was the premo event of the year , and ran all the way up Fremont before the gay awning was installed and cars were driven on that "street". Ah the good ole days ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdave Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 when we saw that the trophy trucks were taking over 2 hours to make a lap we figured it had to be a rough course. thats less than 50 miles per hour average. alot slower than they usually run. well i cleaned up the upper loop of the course and i saw why. man that was some rough sh*t. i dont know how the stock bugs go through all that crap and they had to do 300 miles. thats one hell of a long day.
