Viper Crash & More Rally Stories

As promised, I found the videos of the Viper crash in Morocco from last year that I mentioned in my blog a few days ago. Unfortunately, the videos may be protected from downloading due to their sensitive/graphic nature.

Bullrun 2005 & Gumball 2004

Bullrun 2005 is starting in Los Angeles on April 29th. They will be looping through San Francisco and Aspen. It should be great fun, but something tells me getting out of Los Angeles on a Friday night will be hell. Maybe we can have police helicopters trying to chase us down much like the Las Vegas to Los Angeles run from a few years back. The entire run will be filmed and rumor has it that parts will be shown on MTV.

On a serious note, I’d like to do one more rally before starting rotations in September. Maybe there will be something between July 4th and September 2nd which I haven’t heard about yet. Otherwise, it’s off to Europe for me.

Thought I’d post this letter for your enjoyment… where is my registration form?

This is something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while, so despite the ungodly early hour, I was full of energy.

I was the first person from the group of journalists to arrive, giving me plenty of time to look around the lobby, which is actually a gigantic football-field length atrium, the centerpiece of the entire building.
