Here is some of the events held at the Steel Soldiers SoCal 2013 Spring Rally:
Of course a nightly fire in the fire pits to talk around and keep the night chill away.
The Big Day was Saturday. In the morning the Bad Karma group held a training event and I got to play the part of a downed Helicopter pilot ( dressed in flight suit accessories with flight helmet supplied by the Bad karma group) Dropped off near the crash site and then the rescue group tracked me and called in Transport rescue (the Tan m35a2).
Saturday afternoon brought the Desert Truck drive Approx. 40 mile round trip through the desert, the destination was a large remote dry lake bed.
The Dry Lake bed was the location of the Un-official Steel Soldiers SoCal 2013 Drag Race, The race was run Twice once from each end of the dry lake plenty of room for these trucks to gallop, What fun!
Lapsed times were not recorded ( would have took to long) nor was top speed Couldn’t have been any more than 55 MPH LOL.
Fastest 0-60 times not available ( Not Possible).
