2008: Chihuahua Express Crash & Burn Photos

Even though Moriah was out for the count on the first day, from the photos people sent, it looks like everyone had a great time. My brother, along with Brian Glass, navigated for Gerie Bledsoe and got on the podium. They placed 6th overall in Gerie's Camaro, pretty cool. Todd Landon's two '65 Mustang Fastbacks ran very well.....official results to follow for the Bag O'Nails and the Gypsy Wind. There were quite a few crashes and mechanicals, and a few cars that burned up, but the only injury was a broken heel, thank God. Rene with the Todd Landon built '65 Fastbacks Bag O'Nails (blue) and the Gypsy Wind (white). Thank you to Dyana Marlett at www.dyanamarlett.com for allowing the use of her beautiful photos.

2008: Moriah in Chihuahua - A Little Too Chummy With A Guardrail

Image
" Moriah" at Al Hagen's Yesterday's Autos in Minneapolis a week before the race. The update from the Chihuauhua Express 2008 - Moriah arrived beautiful and shiny and new, but she didn't stay that way. On the first day of racing she got too close to the guardrail and her left side was wiped out. Thankfully my dad and brother were unharmed. As my mom would say, "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Stewie, Rene and Geezer with "Moriah", all looking good the morning of the start of the Chihuahua Express 2008
