First Bloods’ People’s Curse

Posted by Dustin Shedlarski On September - 19 - 2008

Here it is, Team First Blood going down with glory as the People’s Curse does it’s thing.  This years curse was supposed to allow all of the different teams access to the oil fill hole which they could put whatever they wanted to in it while it was running.  Nuts, bolts, bananas, anything until it blew.  But the engine died moments before the team was notified of the looming curse.  How else could Rambo go down with all the glory?

So Team First Blood requested they get their own time to destroy their creation.  A few minutes were granted and aided with sledge hammers.  Damage was adequate but not enough to have reason to leave the truck at the track.  The intent was that the curse would finish off the truck.  So the big can openers came out and finished the job.   The truck would become a convertible in a matter of minutes.   What a bitter sweet ending.

Check out the footage of how Rambo and his race truck were put to the grave.
