After having to
sit out the Baja 500, the long awaited axles arrived. With false courage, I
accepted the final ride of the day. This is a brutal machine that generates
landscape-blurring views from the pilots cabin & jars internal organs loose!
Fortunately, John eased my fears during the ride with valuable tidbits of
advice over the helmet intercom, little things like "breathe" & "relax"...
things I was forgetting to do while experiencing a sensory attack of the
first magnitude. Understandably, John gets a kick out of showing of his car
& skills, the combo is among the quickest in the sport, with reliability as
the only real demon in the way of an overall victory! |
