Seems like they are flying today making some good gains on positions. Did they remove the restrictors, is it Dunes or just good driving and a little luck?

Looks like they got stuck, broke or stupid timing is off again at the end. Wish they had a tracking system like with other offroad races, where you could track their vehicles and see their speed through the race and not just at checkpoints. SCORE could teach them a few things.

Glad to see team speed keeping at it.

Casey Curie (sxs) and Andrew Short (bike) have both put on a show of consistency and they are both in 4th place overall in their respective classes. Way to go! Big time gaps between them and podium so doubtful this will change unless top 3 in either class have a DNF. Tomorrows last race day is a 112KM special with 247kmn of liaison.

This is a very good result for American's in Dakar. P.S. Looks like RG and Blade just rolled in ASS . :)
