51X - a two seat rock rig flew through the sand canyone and is winding his way through the top of the first waterfall...both helmeted racers bouncing and now the REv Limiter is banging hard and now is on his side after a good roll...
8:29
Reports that he may need to be winched over which would put him out of the race...51X disqualified by his rollover and course recovery.

Unofficially for XJ Ranger --- the 51x was disqualified after his rollover. KOH rules for LCQ say you can recover yourself but once officials roll you over you are DQ...and that was reported way early for 51X.
 
Work doesn't block anything but thanks for posting all that. :thumbup:

10:32
#LCQ Juan Ponce's crew chief went to LAX to pick up crew members and took the race car keys with him and he's never showed back up and they've never returned so Ponce had to hotwire this car....

Oh man, I bet Dave is pretty bummed out. :(

At least Garry got a chance to drive in the race, I thought that was pretty cool of Dave.

Larry - We miss you...the wind is 50 mph and blowing heavy dust...watching from the office with the 40 inch monitor is not a bad thing... but we are eating dust!

Still in a waiting period as Ponce is pulled off the course and now two spectators in their rigs are stuck crossing the course prior to Backdoor! They're being extricated as we speak...
