Who are you looking forward to seeing? I'm looking forward to seeing how Cam does and how the AWD TTs do. Sad I'm not seeing the Grabowskis and the Crosstrek on the entry list.

 

My DENTIST rides in this with his dad. Dentist is a former NASCAR driver [one of the lower levels, don't know, cuz I'm not really into NASCAR]. His dad is a former champion bike rider who is also riding. One of the official support vehicles is helping them, as they have some relationship.

My understanding is that they have like one minute stops and ride for 20 hours straight or something like that. CRAZY.

 

They'd need to stop more than that. They will need fuel. Do you know their race number?

 

No, his last name is Smith. [He's a pretty humble dude, real laid back. He also skydives and is going to do wingsuit jumping for 6 months: he says people who only do it 6 months are less likely to die.]

 

Bike? Quad?

 

@Hbjeff Get in here. I see you on the weatherman chat.

 

Of course I love watching all the TT, but keeping a special eye on Toby Price and his all new AWD truck.

And then can’t forget to show the love for the true hardcore guys in all the 11’s

 

Class 11 drivers are the true crazies.

 

Words can’t express how badly I’d love to race in that class haha. I need to get around to it soon though while I’m still younger that way my back and kidneys can take the pounding they’re sure to get.

 

Their race is so long...

 

Well when you’re driving a car with the Average horsepower of a lawn mower and leaf blower combined speed was never really at the top of the list haha. Plus minimal suspension travel and clearance

 

Travel? Wasn't aware that bushings give travel. LOL.

 

Don’t underplay them like that. On average each 11 car has about 6-7” in the front... that’s like you know a phone book

 

I know, just being facetious.

 

On a more serious note though can we start a petition to bring back the sidecars

 

Hooligan class. I want to see that. It was incredibly entertaining at The Mint. Seeing sidecars would be sick too.

 

It'd be great if we could put a group together to pay for an Arrive and Drive.

 

I’m in for that. Experience of a lifetime.

 

Once in a lifetime... Unless you get bit, then rip your retirement account.

 

Luckily I’m only 24, not a lot in there to rip so it wouldn’t hurt as bad. (At least that’s my logic)

 

I'll be watching now, thanks!

 

Bike.

 

Justin Smith?

 

Maybe ... I call him Doctor Smith.

Well, sometimes, I call him Doc Hollywood because he is a real little guy. Small, but super smart and cool dude.

 

If that's him, that tracker hasn't moved from Ensenada.

 

Fishgistics is streaming from their helicopter with Cam Steele. Connection is meh though.

 

Watching McMillins, Jensen Button, and looking for J McGrath......found Roessler and RJ, no McGrath this year. Sounds like weatherman has cartel troubles on air.

 

Lol. There was a time when someone's PTT was stuck all the way in Glamis.

 

Nice!

Is that Mouse on Diablo?

Loving this livestream....

 

I wish i had time to be in the weatherman channel today...
