LoL at the dude peeing.... i think we saw many a cases like this... true story, Ms. MI got to see me pee, even asked if she could take pictures!


and unfortunatly, some who was infront of me "went" behind his truck, and my gopro was still on.... but dont worry, it will never see the light of the internet.... on my phone at a meet up may be another story

The huge ball of light following us is Netix.

Having Netix behind you is like running from a commit chasing you down. Kinda like Indiana Jones running from that large round bolder.

Huck, thanks for becoming my sweep truck. Not sure how we lost worldtour to team C, but it was nice having you looking at my rear, lol...

I also second the truck numbering. It's a lot easier to remember where people are if they are numbered according to the group, then trying to remember truck 33 is 9 raptors back.

I had the registration list in my truck, and when I did roll call, I had to check them off. With the numbering, it would be easy to know if a truck was missing.

Now that we have some lessons learned, I'm really looking forward to the next one.

Truck 33 was exactly 9 trucks back. Lol. Guess remembering wasn't that hard...

We had a great system, redundant navigation that worked flawlessly, stellar coms, and everyone we passed wanted to jump in to delta group.

We should start taking applications for delta group or to be part of the night raptor auxiliary. .

I call Delta Force veterans get priority! Only if an existing Delta Force member retires will we have opening for new applications

Some more ideas for "lessons learned"

Make radios a requirement

Require at least one of the truck number stickers to be placed on the rear window so the guy behind you knows who you are

I agree with numbers on back window..

Just got back to VA... Had to stop at dealer in det. My buddy works there so I got my halfshaft replaced. None in stock so had to wait till this morning to get it. Non serviceable CV boot have to replace the whole thing... Ran over something on the way home, must have been when we caught and passed Wiz and his crew near det on I75 lol...




And I hit a small tree and popped out the reflector so I ordered a new one, $24...



Here is the tally of miles, time and fuel for the snoball 500 run from Va and back home


I cant complain with avg 13.3 mpg for the whole trip including the trails too

Once you're delta force, you're always delta force. We were glad to have you Ace! We had an extra radio we kept loaning out, by the end everyone in delta had ears, even if it was frustrating. We agree on the rear window, I made both of ours magnets, looking back I should have left one as a sticker. Looking forward to running with you again!
