John Are you going to run the 500 with the sled in one hand and the camera in the other? You seem to be keeping up with Brain in the video. I’ll be pulling for you. Rob
So how fast were you riding in this segment? And how fast will those old relics (I mean the sleds, not you and Brian) go?
Rob, I will likely crash enough without having to worry about a camera. But I could imagine your cousin (Joey) demanding that I get video of HIM during the race, so maybe… Pluedy: We were going about 70 through this section. I wanted to pan to my speedo, but I was worried I’d miss that short section of ditch where it got rough. Fun stuff.
Your shadow appears to be passing you.
Excellent video John, very steady shooting. Brians sleds look and sound great. Looking forward to two thing: finishing my Liquifire and lining up with you guys next month! What a ride that will be!
Brian,
How did the race go? Did the sled hold up? How about your body?
