    So Brian, what did it feel like hitting those cars at that speed, flying through the air, and then LANDING? I can't imagine how hard that landing was on your back!

  • The flying part was easy. My necks a little sore, as is my seat belt shoulder, from the impact part. Still fun though, I'd do it again :laughing:

  • Keith, is there anyway to name it something (the youtube video) that will show up if people search Deja or something. It looks like you have to search kcochran1 to find it. Other keywords don't seem to work.

  • Just got home from camping down near Pocomoke City.
    It was an awesome day...rain included! :laughing:
    I took the Scrambler AROUND the obstacle course. It was my daily driver for this weekend, just wanted to be careful.
    I did enter in the Slow Crawl...my time was 1:47. I believe there were about 10 or more entries.
    They were open today, also. I passed going to it and decided to come home. Weather was/is to unpredictable.


    Well, time to clean up, make a few changes and get ready for July 18th?, in York, PA. I'll camp out again, enter the Show-n-Shine, Slow Crawl, RTI?, and obstacle course. Don't expect to win anything but, I'll be inside the gate. This will be my first trip there.


    After this, back to Rausch Creek.
