...Rusty Bray w/ the walk away.... :laugh:

Chris I'm sure will do well in the LCQ and If this were a motorcross event... well then I'd vote for him.. However, his experience in rock racing is limited to a few races in 08' ... Rusty's been in this for a long time!!!

Also for Rusty to go to the LCQ he'd have quite a trip... for Chris.. what, it's a couple hour drive?

East Coast FTW... Doug Bigelow and Rusty should put up a good showing....

 

[uncc civilengineer]

and the winner is................











































RUSTY BRAY!!!

 

[macgyvr]

East Coast FTW... Doug Bigelow and Rusty should put up a good showing....

WORD

and should be good competition with more than just those two as well

mac 'the east side' gyvr

 

[Jump This]

I still wonder why some of these 'last chance' guys didn't get into the race to start with.

Dave Cole noted sometime back that people were not puting much effort into thier applications.......

Was that it?
