    lol, the stupid ass hummer won the special today ;-)

    Besides, it's not a berkeleying hummer. It's a trophy truck with a box shaped body...

    there is one hummer racer.

    His first name is Rod His last name is Hall.

    all others are poseurs.

    I checked out Rod Hall and it is pretty cool. I still don't see how you can call someone winning specials in the Dakar Rally a poser though.

    Rod started out racing the H1 hummer before it was called the H1. He started winning production classes way back when.. Like 1967 and the 1st Baja 1000.

    He's also about 60 million years old and still racing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Hall_(racer) http://www.ormhof.com/inductees/Rod-Hall.htm

    Jeep Cj5... Then he went to race for Bill STroppe in the famous Bronco's.

    He started racing hummers in 93. His hummer was basically stock and had this really cool American Flag paint job. Everyone started laughing at him, until he started winning.

    For some reason i thought that Carlos Sainz had died some time ago.... Took me a whole episode to realize that the Sainz VW was THE SAINZ.
