Maybe I'm just paranoid, but this is exactly what you don't do when you're playing around folks.

A split second is all it takes to turn from fun to funeral. I'm glad he is ok, but I'm guessing that wasn't the first time he did something dumb like that.

We had the whole area to ourselves. How many guys wear helmets when not competing.................none. Everyone is running around moab with lap belts and no helmets. Nick is a skilled fabricator/driver, and no one was in any danger accept him.

I believe it's an LS1 pushing about 500 hp. The buggy weighs 2200 pounds if I remember right. The 8 into 1 exhauast sounds like nothing I've ever heard before.

It's a LS2 that's not exactly stock. I overheard him talkin about it, just over 500 horse if I heard correctly. It's borderline too much for that light car but the guys an animal behind the wheel. He can handle it
