went to vegas for weekend then caught the primm race with the McMillens. it was windy i mean windy. dust wasnt bad because of the wind so i guess thats a good thing.
mark got 4 flats in his class one car, but still got 6th place (we think)
bebo had trans issues 50 miles out. they think it burnt the converter up trying to lug it through threw the washes in high gear. wont know for sure untill all the data is gathered. they have a new sytem i got to check though and it shows 5 cars on the course at a time but shows their speed and position over a topo map, supper cool thing to see. course was really fast in sections, mark was able to cruise at 98-99mph in alot of sections. anyways heres some pics. im still getting used to my new camera

i took lots of pics, but im sure you get the point.
they had sand drags going on same time as desert race and they had a run away top fueler before race started. my hats off to the driver for not hitting anybody, or any vehicles, but it didnt do so good on the desert course!
