We come here from Corvallis The great daVinci palace We have a great big...sculpture The KangaRex Family. So get a water shawl on A roo that you can crawl on For The Glory pay a call on The KangaRex Family. |
I decided to focus on getting Sojourner to the race. Dave and Tom handled the job of piloting expertly.
The race started with road and then proceeded to the fairgrounds for the sand challenge.

After the race
| This isn't a part of the race, but Shannon had a cob workspace |
|
|
|
| Alas, it was still hot. Just sitting on the asphalt, KangaRex had a blowout. Which we heard from a block away. |
|
To get back home we switched KangaRex to a mud tire on the side that had popped. |
