This car got the best time 12sec




And VIP car, so they can go around up and down ...

Very cool! Reminds me of Mad Max in a way. I would love to have all that sand at my disposal and build some wicked cars to drive around in it. They cant use paddle tires in the comp? That must be pretty hard to harness all that power with normal tires. I like the VIP truck too, that thing is pretty cool. Keep these picks coming, its some cool stuff.

Nice event, but seems a bit boring.
