well, pulled it off. went to the long jump/pit crew comp. thursday night, tecj at laughlin friday, teck at parker friday night, pitted 11 brothers saturday at parker, returned to laughlin saturday night and watched ebberts crash hard subday!
my observations...
1-sal, it was tupid to change the date. i don't care waht the chamber of commerce said. the hole looks good in your foot from the folks at parker.
2-while there were lots of cars at parker, many complained about course markings and the gauntlet had very few workers to right cars and the blm folks yelled at you if you went out to help!
3-pciscott- i felt for you. i saw shades of the outlaw protruck when you finished sunday(on fire) ansd none of the folks at the finish line had a fire extinguisher! "over the scanner-"can we gat an ambulance up here at start/finish so we can use their fire extingusher..." honest to god. this just proves how amateur the promoter is in this professional sport.
4-300 car fields are possible when people can get together and work things out. as it stands right now, there are too many promoters, and that fact alone is killing this sport.
5-noone should have to pay to watch the paint dry at the pit crew challenge. you couldn't see [censored] from the stands because some bozo decided the best way to light the competition was to shine the 1000 watt halogens into the eyes of the spectators.
6-ebberts jimco crash was hard and the car drove away(slight bend to rear of cage)...baldwins truck crash was minor in comparison and they will sell it for scrap metal. whats up with that?
7-there were almost as many cars in the 1/2-1600 class at parker as there were at the whole laughlin enchilada. makes you have to go hhhmmmmmm.....
8-the folks on freeloader hill were pretty tame sunday, heard it was different saturday, but not as bad as last year. but what is with all the trash? we filled bags uplast year on sunday, this year looked way worse. why don't the cops give litterers an option-fill the bag up and put it in the dumpster or sign the bottom of this ticket? got that one from a peace officer himself...
9-all the 4wd in the world and they still haven't figured out how to air down!!!
10- all those who thought the tow guys were being unreasonable, hey, they unlocked my car door for free after my kid shut the keys in there! and they did it for free! said they were making plenty of money on hook ups on the hill!!!
hope the folks who crashed at parker all get better, especially the only class 3 jeep entrants. beautiful jeep, shame it got wadded up. hope everyone recovers.
