According to the Tow Trucks owner (Three involved) He had to pay the BLM six grand for the damage His trucks did trying to get the Circus Bus out of the Ravine.
I know this first hand as He hauled two loads consisting of My loaded truck, the second being My trailer and race car out to the pits after the motor seized up about three miles west of Smith's.
What a fu*king year that was. I spent five days getting a motor shipped from Phoenix, and Mike Wesche, Lionel Pitts and I spent two days after Speedweek on the salt installing the new motor in 100 + degree heat.
Oh, yeah, We had Rube and Goldberg (two of My crew) "fabricate" a push bar out of a friends spare trailer hitch mount, put it on the front of a ATV, pushed it off and ran 229 for My one and only pass of 2011. If You go to Speedweek 2011 on YouTube there is a short segment (look for a picture of My yellow Stude) being pushed off by the ATV and if You listen You will hear it go sideways once, Me nail it again, it go sideways again, and Me short shifting the Lenco... and hauling ass.
