[QUOTE="wayne matlock, post: 1861078, member: 18468"] Not really.......... I have checked out several videos from the race that show trucks and buggies passing each other in the same area. one slows down and another one passes. One gets bogged down in the sand and two go around, so on and so forth. During prerunning I had walked and practiced multiple lines through the first two problem areas just in case. I had two alternate lines around both of them. I actually used them to go around stuck trucks and pull them out during prerunning. But it was clear in the race and we ended up running right up the middle and helped/pushed a 10 car through with our bumper in the process. Like I said in my first post "most of the teams were awesome" waving us by and let us slip around. Your team was definitely not one of them, you guys were the one team that threatened to smash us when you passed later in the race. Not sure why you were so upset because I guarantee you would have done the same thing if your 10 car had four wheel drive and was narrow enough to get by. This is a race and our turn started when the green flag drooped. My co driver got out and walked ahead talking to all the cars and they were all cool except for you. We were not trying to piss anyone off just get through a tight section were the UTV's have an advantage. We are not racing your class. So most guys realized that by letting us go by it did not effect them at all. I did not hold anyone up, and in fact speed things along by pushing a car through. But again, thanks everyone for being cool and letting some of us slip by. [/QUOTE]
