1999
SATURDAY
SCORE Laughlin Race



HIGHLIGHTS






Ed/Tim Herbst (Ford)2nd off-the-line, chasing the McPherson/Roeseler (Chevy) Trophy Truck: "punch-it" BABY..



Jason Baldwin in "kill-mode" at the start: he's lookin' to make a move EARLY..



Mcpherson/Roeseler 1st off-the-line, hammering it off the main jump: lookin' to put some distance between them & the pack..



Kreg Donahoe (Dodge, Walker Evan's ex-trophy truck) on the "warpath": is he HUNGRY or what..



Class 5 winner, #502. It was a TIGHT race, with George Seeley #503 a close 2nd



Brian Collins (Class 8 winner), on his way out



Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing..



pit work at the 2nd road crossing (Needles highway). The lady-racers lost the left-front tire..



This is a remant of a collapsed axle, from a Class 7 truck which got hammered in the "whoops" (just before the 2nd road crossing)



# of flat tires often determine your finishing position (& whether you finish. period)



The hills north of the start-finish were PACKED with spectators.



Ivan Stewart's (of Baja 500 & Baja 1000 fame) pro-truck class
