That is pretty good. I assume the drover has orange/pink hair - that seems to be a requirement for that level of skill.

RFLMAO!!

How in the flock did he loose it a 15 mph? The guy didn't get out of 1st gear.
Suppose the Snickers bar fell in his lap?

I find it best to anchor the snickers bars on the dash with Velcro when I'm on track. 3 Musketeers get eaten in Staging.

OMG, how the hell do you do that?

That guy isn't even qualified to be an honorary HWFM member. Oh well, at least he still has his Snickers bar.

There's been a few people fly off the entrance roads of Texas World and MSR... not known if any Snickers were involved.

That was Exmulhe and is that slick when wet, iiiffffffffff you hit the curbing. There is a dip at the apex if you hit the turn right running from the main entrance. He came on, crossed the bumped by a foot or two and kissed the curb!! The worst section when wet is Hatzenbach we ran it in the rain closed course and did a track walk. You could take a five step run in your sneakers and slide like Gene Kelly for about 10 feet.

Must go back again this year......

Ouch, did some damage. Nothing like working on body work when it is cold and wet.
