Did anyone notice the number 53 on the base of the machine holding the MINI chassis in the photo Gabe included? It’s nothing big, just a coincidence.

Listen at timestamp 5:46. Sounds like something from ESPN. That is Gabe's Theme music.

Gabe’s theme song…? I guess I missed it? Would that be anything by Danger Mouse, Wilco, Quicksilver or Moby Grape?……..

@dr: You know that Gabe’s theme is the ring tone Todd uses for Gabe on his iPhone, right? It’s awesome.

Hum, I haven’t listened to a WRR since it’s inception. Today I thought I’d drop by to hear what’s up with it. I didn’t listen to it all but found many interesting news items.

Gabe… I think your new header is very nice though I do like a bolder “MOTORINGFFILE”, though not the full wide version.

A note on pre-runner and chase vehicle comments… Since I used to race in the SCORE Int Off Road Series (10 years) I think I can comment with some knowledge.

Pre-runner: it’s just that, though not as exactly as you fellows described it, it’s a nearly full blown race vehicle, generally trailered to the course weeks before the race. They “were” used to “pre run” a course at pretty much full song, sort of like WRC, to take notes on the race course conditions. Last I heard, I haven’t raced in 10 years, now mostly illegal because of environmental concerns in the USA. Races held in baja are still allowing some limited “pre running.”

Pre running a course can get you disqualified even if done in a non race vehicle no matter how long before a race it’s done.

Chase vehicle: used during a race to go find a broken race vehicle and fix it. The name “Chase” is a bit misleading as you can’t actually “run along after the vehicle” during a race unlike the Dakar where your “Chase” trucks actually run the course so they might be there to repair you ASAP. The Dakar is a different animal in that it’s 3,000 miles long. A Chase” truck is generally “street legal”, ahem, as you sometimes, especially in baja, have to drive on public roads to get to your broken race vehicle.

As you can tell I have nothing to do this AM…

Merry Christmas guys, great to get a show at this time of the year.

Guess I am too serious in life as I just don't get the same feeling for either Goodwood or All4 personally. Oh well

As for comments DB on Motoringfile I have to disagree, even with opinions other than my own its always good to hear what other people are saying. Yes a lot of comments (mine included are circular arguments) but I think debate is good for the soul lol.
