I was just showing my family...imagine what kind of skit you could do with that vid. Imagine a guy going on a test drive at the nearest Ford dealer?? The sticker in the passenger window is the best!!!

I just got home after the 8dr drive. Have some 400 pics to sort through and tons of jump videos. Need some R&R but will try and get more up later today.

And, oh yeah, get the track mud off the Raptor LOL.

It was a lot of fun. I really do think a good job was done of making SVToffroad.com's presence known. I had a great time talking with everyone, some familair faces and plenty of new ones. Of course getting behind the wheel and hitting the track was awesome. I burst into a fit of giggles after the first jump and the driving instructor (a required passenger for all runs) Keith, started to laugh with me. The only bummer was having to get off the track. Hopefully something like this will happen on the east coast for all you guys as well.

So did the shocks bottom out????

Actually, the truck wasn't coming down in this pic. I used the new "Low-Rider" switch on the console - it's a new 5th Upfitter Switch - and that's how the front end is so low. If you notice the rear end raises up when you push forward on the Low-Rider switch. If you pull back on the switch the rear end goes down.

Truth be told, I never exceeded the 40MPH Aaron (my "instructor" from Team Ford) told me to adhere to.

It is a great picture Chris! And your videos are terrific too.
