Looks like your idea of 25 mph and mine are a little different.
Although you did get me outside the speed zone.
I think us and 1725 are the only ones that even looked in the mirror, no wonder no one like jeepspeeds. Looks like some of them needed punted off course.

That's a first.:shaking: 1748 knows you are on him. Couldn't hear the horn, but the little nerf is enough to let him know.:laughing: He pulls the rabbit and tries to take off (nothing new). You catch him again and he STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COURSE!!!!!!!!!! That not only looked like a hard hit, but subjected you to another collision.:eek: 1748 needs a good talking to.:mr-t:

He seen us! The codrive waved!! He called jeepspeed and said there was no place to pull off and said we hit him 8 times!!!:shaking: We only bumped him right before he stopped.

I talked to him on the phone and he told me he didn't understand why we wanted to pass him, since we were ahead of him on time :shaking: He's also the same guy who brake checked us in parker, and we have video of that also. After he called JeepSpeed, i was told that they were debating bringing back the no bumping rule. I told Clive if that was the case, whoever started first would probably always win since no one in the class ever moves over!

He was fucking riding the brakes!!!!:mad3: (I was getting pissed just watching the video:laughing:) (and BTW, how often does anyone use the brakes outside of checkpoints and the pits :shaking:). I agree the non-blue light cars shouldn't touch the blue light cars, but within the class "non-abusive nerfing" (as they like to say at the at the driver's meeting) is a must for the 1748s of the world.:flipoff2:

Broke a ring & pinon and a drive shaft

We lost 2nd gear in the tranny. That's what killed us. The ring & pinion didn't really slow us down. I don't recall breaking a driveshaft. :confused:

Hadn't really thought about it lately, thats like 6 or 7 weeks away.
We can have the car prepped over a weekend if we decide to do it.

That video is awesome....I found myself wanting the rear view mirror to go away on the straights....it was fine when you were passing and mixing it up.

Great editing going back and forth between the 3 cameras...helped with the feel of the race.

Great video. Really gets you pumped up and into the action, to the point that I couldn't wait for people to get the hell out of my way so I could go fast again.

Episode 14 doesn't work for me, the other ones load up but not 14, can you look into that Lance?

Thanks,

Episode 14 (KORE Suspension in Mexico) seems to work fine for me? What kind of error are you getting?

Well we passed everyone and had a 6 minute lead over 2nd place (the yellow JS we passed at the end of the video) when 2nd gear blew up in the transmission. Since we run in 2nd gear 95% of the time, we didn't stand a chance after that. We ended up finishing 5th. :(

I don't get an error screen, it just shows up white/blank where the video should be but the others (16 and 17) load and play. I assume it isn't a plugin or anything on my end because of 16 and 17 playing unless you guys changed formats for them???

Tried that, but a junkyard 4.0 only has so much power. Needless to say we did bog our way to the finish line. :p

I wanted to clear this comment up, so I went back and looked at our raw video. Here is a screen capture of us both pulling onto the road at the beginning of the 25mph zone. ;)

So it's true.
Perry's idea of 25mph is 15mph slower than yours or mine.

That shot doesn't show up in the video. Show the raw footage going over the bridge with your speed. I need to defend my manhood here.

If we were that close to 1736 turning on to the road then i think it would be safe to say that if we were speeding we would of had to pass him to do so.

Unless he was speeding:flipoff2:

See, told you you were a cheater.
The draft from your car must have pushed me faster than I wanted to go.
I'm getting more seat time and think I can run with most guys now.
When are you rolling out this Grand I keep hearing about?

Was supposed to be done for the 1000. But looks like we're going to wait to run it at Parker instead.

Are you racing in the 1000?

Really thought we were but decided to go with the whole BITD series instead.
If I want to stay married I can't do Baja and Henderson, too close.
Probably will go down and check it out because I've never raced down there and need more experience getting around.
We will be at the Pomona show at Light Force and of course the Jeepspeed meeting then Henderson and hopefully it snows by then and off to Mammoth.

You have any camera footage of the drive shaft coming apart from the under-car camera??

Nope. The driveshaft came apart not too far from the finish line when we were in third gear (we had lost 2nd) and I was trying to keep momentum through a rough section. I had to SLAM on the brakes to avoid disaster and apparently the axle twisted far enough at full droop for the shaft to come apart. The camera was long broken at that point.

Well you might as well go ahead and race baja now... After I just sent a copy of the video Lance made to Casey Folks, it looks like you'll be out of the series runnings. They plan to make an example out of you like SCORE did with Robby Gordon. :flipoff2:

So... See you in Ensenada? :flipoff2:

Too bad, that would have made a great vid of that thing coming apart. Did it beat the hell out of the tranny tunnel?
