36 miles in and looking good. Them and Fitts are running right on top of each other...I love it

So, things are changed a bunch. Looked like they lost a tire landing off the infield jump, but seems they also broke the right side steering knuckle

Field repair underway. Crew can't help as the truck is still on the race course

We're at RM25 running 60+. The 7301 is at RM47, but hasn't moved for quite a while!! Interesting...

We have a race. The guys got 2 laps before the lead trucks in their race got in 4, so that's it. I'll let the team fill in some of the details for ya'll when they can. WAY TO GO GUYS

So they finished the race, not a DNF right? Finishing is good, Yes? Either way, very impressive even being there to race. When Tim helped me with my TJ on monday, El Chivo had nothing under it to make it go!! Nice job getting it all together.

Yup, in spite of breaking another knuckle and the time fixing it, they got in 2 full laps before the big dogs finished

Jim drove the whole time. Steve got plumb whupped with digging and jacking and all, so Don ride the second lap. I'm pretty proud of them kids

The gang spent last night in Jackpot, so I'm guessing they should be home by dinner time today
