It was blowing at my house. I hate to think of what it was doing out at the lakebed.


Campers are wonderful

Ok, I will swing by Woody's trailer at some point, we are gonna stay out of the zoo and stay over at Melleville lake and run side by sides over the hill.

Just got back, did a full circuit of the event, from the sand dunes, to Outer Limits to Jackhammer over to Wrecking Ball and finally to the back side of Sunbonnet Pass, got to see some great action at Backdoor, Campbells pass for the lead and his run off Wrecking Ball, and final lap run into the pits, the guy and his car was the class of the field.

Hobie, last leaf sprung 4x4 to run KOH, also the last rig to run all the KOH events, broke a 80 series tie rod end on Sunbonnet. Got him back on the road. Driver ran back to the pits to send parts to the co-driver.
