Wow - Raptor is on it

The pic on the left was posted by JayBenson on 6-23 after Steve (Raptor357) "over hucked" his Wild Hare Edge. Most of us would have dragged on for months after that, if we even did decide to repair it. But the pic on the right was taken yesterday at the field as Steve was already back in action! His expression speaks for itself......nice work, dude!

Yeah, it does start with Larry on pit road. It seems that in his haste to get to the field he hit some debris......and bent the mess out of one of his trailer rims as the tire went down! You've got to work faster than that to stay on the lead lap, Larry!

Dustin (Coors2U) jumps right in to help by hucking his Tribute (nicknamed the "Ti-Fighter" since it looks like a Star Wars craft) in the background.

Then the weird stuff started to happen. Josh Bunn (Ifly3d) picked up his TX and started flying a fuel jug right before our eyes! See for yourself if you don't believe me. These are unretouched photos, honest!

I should let you think about the jug for a while but I won't this time. Actually Larry dusted off his Magic and decided to use it as a tow-plane for a few laughs....and laugh we did.
