I have to throw out a huge Thank You to the Funco crew. On Presidents day weekend, first run out I’m leading a fast run, transitioning over from one dune to the next and low & behold, before I could say SH***T!!!!, I slammed into a 4ft deep gully that ran right across the top of the dune.

The guy 60 ft behind me at 60+ MPH said my rear end flew 10ft in the air and we got tossed 50ft heading sideways. After we shook it off we tied up the front, dropped the air on the opposite air bag (you can only do this in a Funco) and 3-legged it out from deep in the dunes.

At 1 PM we rolled up to Pad 4. Grant and Greg were just shaking their heads. But, not wanting my entire weekend blown, Grant got on the phone with Greg’s son who grabbed the Shock Box on his way out of town. Greg immediately got to work breaking down the shock while I went to Sweet Marie’s to have the A-Arm welded. I think this Shock Shaft is supposed to be straight, no?

By 7pm that night, what seemed to be a complete disaster for my weekend turned into a total repair and I was running that night.
I’ve had several rails but this is my first Funco. First, I’m damn glad I was in a Funco for that hit. The car is absolutely amazing. Second, the absolute family attitude from Geri to Grant, Greg and the entire crew was outstanding!

Thank you again Funco!

Story does not suprise me one bit, top notch company with first class customer service.

All that and no pics of the 3 legged car? WTF?

Nice story. Those guys are the shiznit!

That customer service is second to none. Way to go FUNCO keep it up....

was this on the top of the ridge just south of comp hill? I hit one just like that there...

glad noone was hurt and Funco crew is top notch for sure..

Happened on the way from Flag Pole over to Olds. Yip, sure glad those guys were around otherwise I'm limpin for the weekend!

Always think about those things after the fact. Wish I had taken pics.

the wind did some weird stuff. there were a lot of razors and top edges of bowls with dips blown into them. Definitely had to change up the way you transitioned this weekend..

That's why it's called the "Funco Family"!! Great bunch of people!!

Nice!

Good story, great outcome! Thanks for sharing
