Congratulations to our long-time devoted moderator Anubis169 for winning the Foil Uncut M15 Rare and Mythic Rare sheet!!! The total raised by this giveaway was $10851.36!!! You guys are amazing, we’ve had a great start to the run this year and we don’t see it slowing down anytime soon!

Soooo, that was a rather fast crash wasn’t it? Now you have born witness to the AWESOME power of THE DEVICE!!!!! You have received but a taste of the challenges that await the drivers over the run.

The device was designed by Michael Davis, who will be calling into the run Saturday evening, who will talk at length about it. We DO have a little preview for you all though.

The device interrupts the signal between the Sega CD and the controller and allows us to modify the communications between them! This allows us to add some “fun” driving effects for our poor drivers. We have revealed “Lefty” which remaps the D-Pad to the ABC Buttons and vice versa.

…The bus is reallllly easy to crash now, this should be good.

So as you might have seen from our lovely volunteers modelling it, THE DESERT BUS SHIRT IS ALREADY PRINTED!!!!
