Thats exactly my pic ! I can't find it on my photobucket ! Worst mistake 72 mph a guy with turretts 2 way radios and me standing at the finish line with the TX.. Same pic same foot just not as bloody. I had on sketchers lol.. True

he has four feedback received. 1 of which is a negative.. 3/4= 75% positive.. His score is only 2 because a negative cancels a positive. Quite simple

Yea, I had sandles on.. The funny thing is I was lucky enough to react and lift my foot up just as it hit so it just grazed me and wasn't so bad. But you can still see what it did. The best part was my sandle went further then the rustler and all its parts.. I took the front end of that car down..
