A tragedy of sorts

Found this out today...

Richard Sainct was killed during the Pharoah Rally in Egypt. Fabrizio Meoni and José Manuel Perez were killed during the just concluded Dakar Rally. The Dakar wins again... :sad:

Sad to hear. I was just watching it last nite. I'd die a happy man if I ran that.

So would I, on a side note I have new respect for Robby Gordon the NASCAR driver. He actually won a stage and finished a respectable 30th in the car class.

I noticed that, didn't expect him to run a VW. His company is 10 minutes away from here.

The VW has done very well since it started getting used. Although the biggest surprise is Honda finished second. I keep telling everyone Honda is everywhere, I have to find more info about the #305 MAGNALDI / FORTHOMME buggy.
