I'm getting there on the 1st and leaving the 8th after watching the start of the race. If you are going to be there shoot me an email (triaged_at_gmail). I know it's an off chance but what the hell...

damn, I'd love to go!

Here is a random sample of pics I took. I'm back now.

People cheered for this thing whenever it passed

There was a whole fleet of these things. Watt's links in the back, Panhard up front, and Rover radius arms front/rear.

One of the MANY VW support vehicles

Steering axles on the front of a MAN 8x8

(those are 53's for size reference)

Eric Vigouroux's Chevy

IFSGAT (Independent Front Suspension Giant Ass Truck)

Closup

Robby's truck before he munched in the front end in a ditch ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG6lL_SeHWE&eurl= )

Glad you found them...not like I hid them or anything

I'm waiting for Willyswanter to re-setup my SCBD gallery so I can post up more pics. I just tossed those few on photobucket which I am not a big fan of (are they all even showing up? I can only see 2???).

Great pics. Saw a slide show once from someone who followed the race. The whole week before the start was a mad house/party.

If you want to post them in the pirate4x4.com gallery, I would be happy to set up a gallery for you?
