Video Clip of the Week - [http://fulltiltlife.com/thankyou.html](http://fulltiltlife.com/thankyou.html) Animals and fast vehicles don’t mix well. We’ve had critters stray onto the course before and usually manage to avoid any type of interaction. Scoping out the area helps, but those birds are hard to manage. They get sucked into jet engines, too, right? In fact, two birds were harmed in the making of this movie. They were transformed in mid-flight to bloody smears in a fraction of a second. One played chicken with a Lamborghini and the other with a Supra - both at FullTilt speeds. I was riding in the Supra when it hit the bird somewhere north of 150. Sounded like a baseball hitting the windshield - no damage besides the feathers and guts wedged into the rubber liner at the top of the glass. Any other noteworthy animal/vehicle encounters? ---
