I remember being at this race and I have a picture of Robby and the co-driver standing on top of the truck after they won.

This is my number 1 favorite TT . It's from the yr previous to the last vid 1995 . Still Valvoline but a boxier older style F-150 .

@MJ, I was in attendance for that event. RG had a fast truck for a while. If my memory serves, RG had a RF shock issue. It was packing up on compression, thus not allowing the RF corner to have any rebound, and it was very very slow to release.

Damn you bro now you've got me watching the vid over and over again to find where it started packing . Looks like maybe towards the end of the vid when he takes that big hit could've done it . Looks to be ok up til then or maybe something happened when the front clip came off ( vid doesn't show that part ) .
