2008: Chihuahua Express Crash & Burn Photos

Richard Tyzack (U.K.) and Fernando Garcia (Chihuahua) in the Bag O'Nails behind Carson Scheller in his 1954 Ford Victoria. Photo courtesy of Marcia Blas.


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).

As usual love the report. Regarding the top photo, the car that Tyzack is behind is not a Lincoln. It is Carson Scheller in his #433 1954 Ford Vic.
