spook Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Pat, I thought it was from Paris to Dakar (hence the name of the rally)? Is it really to Egypt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted January 4, 2003 Author Share Posted January 4, 2003 Its a little different every year. It has ended within sight of the pyramids before. http://www.dakar.com/2003/us/ Official sight with map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Pat, that's a pretty cool site. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 Hmmm...its been a rough year, Shinozuka, one of my favorite drivers (and not just 'cuz hes driving for Nissan) had a really bad crash, but appears to be out of danger. Alfie Cox, Joan Roma and many others have gone down in the Lybian desert. Best wishes to those who have been injured and hope for a speedy recovery.

EricW Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I found it slightly ironic that they guy in fifth place is named "Coma." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 Lol...hehe Klienshmidt has sure made progress. On the second day she was in somewhere around 64th...now shes up to 4th...if she gets that buggy sorted out she might rack up her second win next year.

38supPat Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 Well it appears that a truck was taken out by a landmine today...not many races have to deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Holy shjt, Pat! If it were me, I'd demand my entry fee back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) So Pat are you following it this year? I've been watching some of it on OLN. I can't believe the sand. Robby Gordon flipped his VW something awful. Two top motorcycle riders were killed this year. A former motorcycle winner, Stephane Peterhansel, won in a Mitsubishi.

Scooter Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I know this is a what I like section, but is it me or did OLN coverage suck compare with Speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
