And this is part of what makes the La Carrera so special. We got back to the hotel after the accident with our tale of woe, and met some guys we'd been talking to the night before. We told them what had happened and they turned around and offered us a flight out on their private plane the following morning, They all lived around Orange county and had come down to watch their friends run the race. We'd never met them before the previous evening, but here they were offering us a really easy way out of Mexico.
No bumping over 500 miles in a service truck, just a short drive to Zacatecas Airport and we were on our way home.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped us that evening with spare clothes and an shoulder to cry on, special thanks to Hank, Hook and friends for the lift.

Well done Steven. Glad to see you finish in style thanks to Hank, Hook and friends and safely back with Amy. Mum and Dad from
England.
Steve,
Glad to here you are all right. I had heard the bad luck tale of the navigator who had been in two "offs" with two differen't drivers, didn't know it was you.
Maybe next year you'll be wearing a NOMEX lucha libre mask under your helmet, style and protection.
I look forward to seeing you down there next year.
Cheers,
Michael Emery
