Leaving for X Games this morning

We will be in one of two Lancer Evolutions. The other car will be campaigned by SBR. Keep an eye out for the white DSG #74 car driven by Ramana Lagemann and Mark Williams. The event will be live on both ESPN and ABC so keep an eye on the schedule. The racing will begin Aug 3 and end on the 5th.

Wish us luck. Track updates for our team at www.rlagemann.com

Thats cool good luck. Question didn't they only have subbies last year? Thats all I think I saw anyway looked like a pg version of a wrc event from what I saw? But I imagine I would like it better with the home team involved.

Mike, thanks for being supportive man. I know that you guys have had some bad luck this year too. If anyone should be commended for tenacity it should be you guys. Today was really tough. I just wrote a long post about it but we're at a rental house with a bad internet connection and I think it didn't post. We are about to spend the night fixing the car. The practice jump was insane. The cars were flying 40 feet with a 5 or 10 foot safe landing area.

Ramana nailed the practice jump perfectly and went for one last round. He thinks that he was only about a few feet off his mark and the car bounced off the crest of the table top and onto it's nose. After dragging on the nose for a few feet, the nose of the car caught on the ground and it flipped end over end. It was absolutely surreal. We stood there, cameras rolling incredulous to what just happened. The car was completely bashed and all for a practice jump. We'll post pictures soon. I know that your car suffered a similar fate, without the rollover. Everyone keep posted. We have a car that looks like it was run over by a steam roller in the driveway of a rental house. We have a few days to make it drive again because there is no way that this team will fall short of it's goals here in CA. Please show your support for Ramana and Mark, Lan Evo 7, car #74

-Alex----pictures to follow.
