Nothing up on Race-desert yet so unconfirmed. Bummer if true though!

Dam, there's now a thread on race so sounds legit.

Atleast he got to go out in the desert instead of a hospital bed !

Very sad, but he sure went the right way. I saw him on Friday at contingency and he was all smiles. I burned my hand years ago trying to light a flare for him when his truck broke down near our camp - my favorite Manny memory.
