Did anyone watch the Pikes Peak '02 coverage on ESPN2?

In the first couple of minutes, they show a truck waiting at the starting line that looked like a Sy - Couldn't be sure though. Did anyone else catch that? Was it someone we know?

I remember somebody mentioning somewhere about a Sy competing in the hill climb.

It should belong to and be driven by Shawn Palmer, the showboarder. I don't remember what all he did to it, but was bad.

Oh. You wrote "was", but meant "saw". Dyslexia's a bitch...
