That is cool... I just started hearing the Weatherman a half hour ago on Race-Dezert, and I never could hear Wild Bill (BFG Relay 12) even after downloading the iTunes program asked for on the BFG site.:light:

When we were in Italy, a couple of years ago, 125MPH was the minimum speed on the AUTOSTRADA, their version of a freeway.
The cars there are geared differently than here and therefore the high speeds do not necessarily equate to high RPMs.
We rented a small Volvo, and we eventually worked our way to around 140MPH (300KPH).
At that speed, one did not much time to think about the next exit. Most time we ended up getting off at the next exit ramp!

The lead Trophy Truck (Bryce Menzies) is nearing Arroyo Matomi .

Robby Gordon is in 5th place at this time, and Gary is right behind!

Okay, so you all have the links... Hope you can watch the race and hear the action.

Because, a head-on collision with one of these vehicles would spell doom for my Rubicon.:!:


Are you ready to go Ken? How many others are joining you?


Yes, we are ready. One Rubicon and an '05/'06 Unlimited are ready to tackle the Pole Line Road! It will be plenty of fun!:bounce:

Heading to bed, just had a look... and see Andy/ Scott McMillin got into the lead as they are on the course near Mike's Sky Rancho at 10 pm

At San Matias Scott McMillin first on the road as Menzies pulled over to pit. Scott now behind the wheel of the #31 truck and finally got around the Vanderwey/ LeDuc truck who are still running solid.

Those were bikes. The Trophy Trucks havn't made it to san Felipe yet. 70, Bruce Mendzies is at about RM 340 - neat the top of the Huatamote wash. They have a few more hours to go!

Here is your Trophy Truck winner taken off the live ticker (times are Pacific):


3:54 DIRTnewz: Andy McMillin is your 2011 Tecate SCORE Trophy Truck WIN and Menzies is crowned 2011 Trophy Truck Champion!

Vanderwey takes second in Trophy Truck. The incident we mentioned earlier was with a local vehicle that was stuck in the course in a blind spot.
Saturday November 19, 2011

3:21 DIRTnewz: Andy McMillin will take the WIN after corrected time
Saturday November 19, 2011 3:21 DIRTnewz

3:19 DIRTnewz: Vanderwey first across the finish line! It's too close to call who will take the WIN
