Made it home safely, but I had to stop for some coffee in Alpine ... I was tired.
GREAT fun and learned some new trails from SVTDon. Man, he can drive that Raptor and I know I struggled all night to keep up ... and couldn't. Great little group and we had some fun. 3 Raptors and a souped up FX4 that my buddy said was actually an FX6 cause it had so many good parts on it.
I had never been on Pole Line Road before and should have been there sooner. Lots of fun, but my buddy riding co-pilot was not a fan of running next to those utility poles. SVTDon showed us a nice little jump - I had my first run at 50 and my buddy got a video of that and then took it at 65 and FINALLY got into the airborne club ... but he just took pictures of that one and missed the air.
SVTDon may as well be Hurbert Hughes cause he was catching air each run.
Here is my first run at the jump. Still a ****** at this point so only went 50. Pretty weak.

Here is me going back the other way. Still pretty ... eh.

Second time I hit it good and got my first air but my buddy only took pics of it. Will upload those next.
Here is SVTDon's jump I video'd. That cat can fly and his Raptor is certainly built up - awesome RPG stuff all around.

Other truck got into the shot so on the 2nd run I went a little farther back. Here is another one of his.

All said, it was a great night. Thanks SVTDon for coordinating. All though it was hot it wasn't too bad and surprisingly it never cooled down right up to 12:30 am like it was supposed to.
I don't know the screen names of the other folks so I won't post their names but the young lady with the lead foot in the white Raptor could sure drive and my buddy was also giving me crap all night about how she was leaving me in the dust. She was a good driver.
Couple crappy night photos to follow. Tried embedding the videos but can't figure it out (I don't think).

Here's me right before my first air.
Buddy took pic instead of video and missed it.
Here is me with my new MandR 40". It is a great light.
