Hey guys!
I think it was 8811 who stopped in the silt bed and helped save our car from burning to the ground! I was not doing so well from breathing in all the toxins (my pumper hose caught fire and forced all the burning plastic into my lungs) and I tried to make a point of it to remember the truck number, but I'm not sure.
This person got out, used up his fire extinguishers and then proceeded to bury the car in silt along with my co-driver (Brian Kirby.) I was kind of out of it but I think he was there for 5 to 10 minutes! I know how much money this team must have spent on their V2R race...AND TO STOP THEIR RACE TO HELP OUT ANOTHER RACER...well, I was blown away! This was my first desert race. Absolutely amazing!
If you are the one who stopped, or you know who was, I would like to personally thank you! I know the car owner (Dave Cole) would like to thank you as well.
Here is a pic of the car I was driving.
I would have posted up sooner but I had to register first and then couldn't post for a couple days.
Thanks again...I hope I can get in touch with this guy!
