    Just noticed... "Antofagasta" sounds like an Italian term for an organization of anti-gay militants.

    "Today in Rome, the Antofagastas marched on the Capitol..."

    Just get some BTR-80s and MRAPs and run the old course in Africa. Use some Apache's for the aerial footage/cover.

    North Africa has really changed a lot. Whatever happened to the organizer's promise that they'd run the regular course next year?

    Second question: who has $500 to buy a car for this gig?

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Seems that there were too many people with spare time & sniper rifles on their hands in Africa; thus, the decision to run the race in a less 'bored-shooter enriched' country...

    Putting Rod Hall in the same category as most septuagenarians is like putting Paul Newman is the same category as most octogenarians.

    There are outliers in any population. These guys are two of them, Paul Newman covers multiple categories. An actor with other talent/skill. A very good actor at that.

    @spiegel1:

    He did die, yes, but he was in his 80's when he did so, which was recently.

    Even dead, he's a better driver than many people, not just octogenarians.

    Ressurected for this once in a lifetime event, he is the only driver that can win it."

    I don't look at it as the best driver ever. Not with the new points system and "playoff" setup.

    Still a great wheelman.
