How many turtles has TVR experienced?

I can remember:
Carguy's Rabbit driven by some other guy

The green Corolla
The Festiva that didn't know when to quit.

How many debeaded tires have we had?
I can remember one on Randy's Dakota.

One debead on a red Corolla that was driven by someone other than the owner - hmmmm I think we see a pattern.

I also see a strange trend....I ended up with the flipped festiva, I was the one who turned the green Corrola back up on it's wheels and then it was my car that got turtled. I better stay away from RallyX for a while.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you aren't. When you race him, he will win.

Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.

Train to near death, rest, repeat.

In my 2.5 seasons of rally crossing.....I've not witnessed a rollover...although we saw one after-the-fact incident at the 08 Nat Championship.

I've only seen a few (4-5) de-beads.....thinking out loud.....1 at the 09 Eastern States Championship, I believe Randy had one at the 08 Nats, Paktinat had one at the 08 Nat's....and the Freon up in Nashville had 2 at one regional event....IIRC.

As for TVR specifically......I have not witnessed a turtle or de-bead....that I can recall.

.....until yesterday at a venue 7 hours away.

Do car owners turtle their own car? Or do you have to be a guest driver to cause that to happen?
