<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">So - quick one -- Desert racing.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">We were pre-running in Mexico for the SCORE San Felipe 250 in our Class 10 buggy. This is a two-seat desert racer, with a driver and navigator. I was driving, and a long-time co-driver from my professional days (he raced for my team for many years), was navigating for me that season. He was a great sports-car driver, but just learning how to navigate. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">On the pre-run, he directed onto a section that paralleled the hi-way. The trail had "marker flags" from an old race, which was confusing. It was a relatively flat section with rollers, so we were moving pretty fast (for the desert) - about 80-90 mph. However, I knew there were no sections on this race that paralleled the hi-way. So, I asked him (intercom, of course) to zoom out on GPS as I was pretty sure we were off course. He got all discombobulated with the GPS, so as we were heading down this trail at 80-90 mph, I reached over with my right hand and started to zoom us out on the GPS. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Well...... since this was not a currently marked course (but was part of an old course), I did not see any "danger" or "down arrow" markers. But, of course, I was taking my eyes off the trail to help with the GPS. DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB. I should have pulled over and checked where we were. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Next thing I knew we were flying across a 50-foot wide, 12-foot high culvert next to the highway. I remember seeing three big 4-foot pipes side-by-side going under the adjacent highway, with the sides of the culvert reinforced with concrete. As we were sailing a long way over this culvert, we both simultaneously said "Oh shit". We had a pretty good ramp on the side we left and I was praying we might clear the culvert. As the car started nosing down, I knew we weren't going to make and it, and I thought to myself "I just killed my navigator." I am still amazed how it went in slow motion. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Well, since I am writing this..... we must have made it. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Thankfully, the car hit dirt about 3 feet down from the top of the opposite of the culvert, about two-feet to the left of where the concrete ended. We were nosed down enough that it flipped us up and over the culvert in a grand pirouette onto the trail as it continued past the culvert. We flipped 5-6 times and landed on our roof. I was alive!!!! I radioed my navigator and asked if he was ok, and he said yes. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">At about that same time, totally coincidentally, out main chase vehicle was heading down that highway and came across this upside-down racecar on a trail. The crew said - "Oh shit, those poor __ckers." Then they realized it was their team car. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">To end the story, the car needed a ton of work -- bending cutting cage, welding new cage, remounting this that and the other. We barely got it through tech, and worked through the night again. We made the race, we finished 3rd, and ended up finishing third in the championship and one of only 4 teams that finished every mile of race in Mexico that year. We even finished 3rd in the Baja 1000.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">This incident was totally my fault, and one of the dumbest mistakes I ever made in my 36 years of racing. I could have killed my navigator. I don't know if I have ever mentally recovered from it -- I usually always drive now with some reserve. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"> </div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#000000" face="georgia, serif" size="2">Regards, <br></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="georgia, serif" size="2" color="#000000"><br>Steven G.
