I watched all 34 minutes of the first one because I'm really interested in what to expect next time. I'm very impressed with how well everthing was marked. Even a geographically challenged idiot like me could probably stay on track.

haha thanks! I'll probably put the other up sometime

Cool video and GREAT music!

Thanks!

after I got back, spent about 3 hours this afternoon getting dust out of the truck and mud from beneath it.

what a blast!

Trey Palreiro's first TEXAS RAPTOR RUN was a huge success. I was there helping run registration with my lovely wife. 50 Raptors showed up, from bone stock to barely-a-Raptor-anymore. Jerrod Jones, editor in chief of OFF ROAD Magazine was there. Greg Foutz (ace fabricator of Ford's full race Raptor that was canceled by Ford's BOD) ( chickens), was in attendance. Everyone was running hard, day and night. Big smiles everywhere. Texana Ranch is amazing. There was an evening tour watching the Adacs, elk, camels, long horn cattle and other exotic beasts being fed. Over the radio on Saturday I heard, "Everyone slow up, buffalo on the course." Where else can you get that?! Trey's BBQ was the best. Trey gave me a ride on the course in his own Raptor...what an amazing vehicle. In my opinion, RPG's little incident was caused by a change in course from good traction on the off road course to slick traction on the caliche ranch road just before the cattle guard. Carried just a little too much speed, nothing more. The RPG suspension parts got moved but didn't bend at all. Quality stuff. Can't wait for Trey to produce this event again, and I think he will!

It is really cool to hear the reports of the weekend. I am stoked to se 50 Raptors together playing hard, and see so few mishaps. This speaks highly of the truck as well as Trey and his group.

Now that everyone is getting home. I can't wait to see all the video and pictures.

Next year, I am there for sure. I sat around all weekend pissing and moaning that I wasn't there.
