Speaking of visibility we have chosen to give Chuck Dempsey in the 1528 car the “Excrement Award” for scaring the crap out of us.
Me and two other photographers were shooting from the 80 mile marker when Dempsey blew the corner. We expected him to turn further right to get back on the course when instead he turned left to dodge a bush and headed right at us. At the time the wind was blowing directly in our faces and when we finally saw through the dust he made in the corner Dempsey was only a few feet in front of us. We were all carrying heavy camera bags on our backs scrambling for our lives as we saw this buggy heading our way. Though it scared the crap out of us all, we now have a great story to tell.
We want to give special thanks to Casey Folks and all the people that make the Best in the Desert Racing Series what it is. Without them how else will we get dirt in our ears, in our noses, and down our pants. Keep up the great work BITD. See you all for the Vegas to Reno race.

Born in Las Vegas I grew up around the desert. I saw my first offroad race in 1981, The Mint 400. It was definately a memorable experience.
I created Prerunner Maniac to help support the Offroad Racing community, and it is something I truly enjoy.
