Better a boulder than a cliff. How far off road did he end up? Some amazingly bad looking accidents in that area with most people walking away over the years.

What was the fastest time this year?

I believe he went off about 200'. He was able to call us with his cell. We had to let the officials know where he was because he was far enough down that they couldn't see him.

Tejon is a street downtown that most of the clubs are on.

Wow I thought I got to bed late at 1am lol. What guy were you crewing for again?

Glad your guy was ok. Any word on what went wrong for him?

There were some scary crashes this year, Dallenbach when into the woods at nearly 130mph. Its amazing that no one was seriously hurt.

It was hailing near the top and that made a mess out of the road.

Is he running the same car as last year, which looked like an old BMW in a black/Gold Scheme?

Sweet! That is an awesome video.

At about 0:40, the hill almost all the way to the left and just over halfway up the screen is where Zico and I were sitting. Near the yellow tent to the right at 7:00.
