Eric had an incredibla weekend.Perhaps the most successful World Finals for any one individual.

2 World Championships / MX3: 162dB (World Record) & DB5: 136.7dB (World Record)

2 World Records

Best of Show

Alma Gates Cup

On the way at 3:00 a.m., the van caught fire and was completely destroyed.

It had to be the best and worst weekend at the same time.

I was completely saddened when I heard about eric's van. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Luckily brad eubank got the van out of the tow yard so the equipment that could be saved wasn't stolen.

I'm just glad that eric and everyone else is safe. After all the work that eric put into that van, and how successful he had made it, it all ends like that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

At least it went out winning and setting some very impressive records in the process. I don't see anyone touching that driveby number for a LONG time. And his name is the first one to be inscribed onto the Alma Gates cup, so there will always be a record of his fantastic numbers.

Did you talk to the owner ? Will is pretty cool, and lives just down the road from me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I talked to him for quite a while.

Pretty nice guy.

Plus, he's a Ben Milne friend.

Yes, big thanks to Brad for recovering the van and getting the product out.

GODAM! 136.7 HOLY SHIT. With that same Magic Mike song. I always thought that song sucked because of the little pauses, but I guess not! I bet Mike shat his pants haha. Dam, I wish I was still an amateur, woulda taken 1st in AS1 instead of being beaten by a gayass rex. Should have also went to defend DB2 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif did a 123.3 last year and this year. Oh well, shoulda, woulda, coulda. What's up with your DB1 score Tommy? I know it was hard and all. Excellent S1 score, however.

Eric,

Drive by scores were down. But I do agree you should have been there along with the rest of team daily. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

seems like so many low tuned LOUD systems that go up in flame. I think it just shakes stuff loose. I was saddened by the news about eric's van as well. on my new one going to try to find a way to mount the amps on some sort of shock absorbing system
