Remember, there were 8 orange speed energy/rpm vehicles entered in this years 1k, across multiple categories:
TT, C1, C5-1600, C6, C8, C4, C2 and Sportsman Buggy.
Not that it would surprise me if it was RG that gave you a love tap, just sayin it may have been the 6 or 8 trucks.
In any case, glad you made it to LaPaz safely and under the time limit, congratulations to you and your crew for a job well done
