Who actually are the Cops. Are they retired, active or what. How many of the team are cops.

As MMc accurately said: "Bad Boys, Bad boys, what you gonna do, what you gonna do when the cops come for you. John Langley owns COPS the TV program."
That's the question everyone asks us: "are you guys cops?" Actually, we have a nice handful of firemen on the team, also one Clark County Sheriff.

I have meet Mr. Langley twice as industry stuff, I don't know him but he seems like somebody I could get to know. Good for him and his success.

I went out that night to get the guys who were driving that F350 - they were unhurt, but we were down by one chase truck. This happened southbound, on
Tuesday night during the NORRA a few miles north of Loreto. It was 9pm, they were doing 40mph, drove thru a small dip on the highway - at the bottom,
the horse bolted out - zero warning. On the positive side, the insurance adjuster was driving behind them and watched the whole thing happen - he took
photos and reports. On our northbound trip, we stopped and grabbed tools, race car parts, etc. from the totaled truck.
Should anyone be interested, I have a photo of the horse - he did not do well.

Too bad it ended up on it's roof after tangling with a buggy on a transit stage. There is a thread about it over on the Thing forum at The Samba
