Dave, I just told you I don't care about my time. Jeez. Besides, the superior Subaru All Wheel Drive system still has traction in mid air. :D

I'd say it's a toss-up between Morg and Al Corrazo, but don't discount Jim Oswald's flaming jump.

Ron,

The red and white Vette, is either Con O' Donnell or Allen Stitt. BTW, Con crashed the car at the jump, and moved the rock that sits on the right!

Rich...I beg to differ and I knew this was coming, because I had to take a double take...Habling must have co-drove/co-owned or owned the car for a few seasons. There is actually a #1 in front of that 85...matching it to the results from the event, it is Habling. I tried to post the result here...but by the time I resize it to fit...you can't read it! I'll email it to you....

Getting air dosen't mean your off line.
You'll get more air (big air) aiming to the left and be off line.
I used the "air" to my advantage.
In my old car I was right about to red-line at the cerst and when the car was in the air I shifted. :wink:

Is that a 1 in front of 85? Who the hell was doing timing and they didn't complain about the 1?


Rich

ps Most likely, I was doing the timing.

Thanks for the recognition Ron , but I prefer a photo that shows there is a short cut to every corner.
