He wasn`t on fire before, last year he blew his engine. I hope he didn`t though, I mean, we spent hours degreasing everything on that rig just so that wouldn`t happen. His oil pan that leaked was replaced before the motor went back in too. If he is out I feel bad for him and Clayton Hunt.Originally posted by wannabejeep View PostI don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulpComment

You know, Jon, I walked up to Smiley and Clayton and told them that you Said 'Good Luck' and look what fucking happened. Poor Smiley, though. Fucking guy can't catch a fucking break.
I spent Most of the day Friday in the Remote Pit (filming for Will and the HMC Machine) between Outer limits and Wrecking Ball and the first lap of the race and it was pretty cool for the first lap. I was there to watch the Miller Crew weld Miller's steering Ram to the axle housing so the steering would work and it was amazing to see Shannon Cambell's pit crew rock and roll like a NASCAR pit crew. They were the only team to utilize and full blown crane truck to life up any corner of his KOH rig to change a tire.
After Miller left the pits, it was pretty much DEAD. the Sniper Fab Eye Win rig driven by Shirley showed up to change a shock, others showed up to change tires and driveshafts and Bigelow was there going over his rig pissing and moaning about how Cambell blew him away in the high speed stuff and he couldn't grasp why.
On the second lap I was eavesdropping on radio transmissions from Cambell's pit and they were all saying that Cambell had a driveline vibration when he went over 70 mph and his tires where a little wonky. Well, when Shannon crested the hill after Outer Limits, he FLEW right past the pit. I pretty much waiting 20 minutes to catch footage of him coming into the pit and watching another sweet pit stop, but to no avail.
Then after that we headed to the ceremonial finish and watched Cambell take the crown and then I walked to Backdoor, up resolution, filmed an amazing sunset at the top of the mountain, then lost my hat when Dustin Webster took me on a fucking wild ride through the desert to chase down a competitor that had veered far off course and then met up with the Masterpull guys at Trapdoor until the race was officially called off and all racers who hadn't cleared backdoor by a certain time were DNF'ed.
Friday was a wild ride emotionally and physically and it was one helluva race. Shannon ate everyone for lunch.
