Flying Bug
Who doesn’t get tired of looking at pictures of a flying Bug? This one from the driver’s side.
There is consensus building that the team will forego the San Felipe 250 and instead race the Battle at Primm in February.

Amazing video that doesn’t include us in it
Ok, so we didn’t make the NBC broadcast of the Baja 1000. To the best of my recollection, there was a brief glimpse of just one Class 11.

Men at work
Let’s face it. Scott and Bob did the heavy lifting today (Sunday), though it didn’t exactly start that way.

And the repairs begin…
Sometime Sunday Creech is coming by with a Checker cab outfitted with a tow hitch to trailer 1102 to his place in Ben Lomond. Bob “Bus Boy” Russell, our team sommelier, will drop the engine and transmission. We’re pricing spare race transmissions as I write this, and looking to folks to rebuild our primary tranny. [...]

Seventh overall in SCORE Class 11 standings
Considering we only did the San Felipe and the Baja 1000, we still racked up 64 points and finished 7th in all the Class 11s competing.
