I'm been spending my 8-9pm hour watching the Dakar rally on Speedvision. Spectacular scenery and awesome competition . I don't how these guys (and gals) do it, but they survive some pretty grueling conditions. They are probably running on adrenaline because it must be a blast running through desert at WOT!

Been catching it when I can and it is awesome. That would be a blast to do sometime.

Did you guys hear what Schnider (is spelling correct?) do at the start of 2nd to last day, who was in 3rd place I blieve? He and his teammate knowingly started ahead of 1st starter, Masuoka, and blocked him on tight sections, made him eat dust. I've seen some diarty driving before in all form of racing, but never seen such unsportsman like condact before.

Even more amazing, the organizer let this happen right in front, and penalized him for 1hr?! Give me a break.....

It's kind of funny I get so pumped up about this, but you'll see what I'm talking about in a few days.

By the way, it's good to see Jonny Cambel doing good there on Stock Honda XR650.
