I was thinking along the same lines.  MD should get one of those bar
counter
size wings like Bob Benson has, so he could just stay airborne over the
dips.

Okay, enough BS already.  The fact is, you weren't going FAST ENOUGH 
Dawg.  All country bumpkin drivers will tell you, if you go fast enough 
the wheels and tires never have a chance to let down into the ruts of 
the washboard.  Mougals can't be much different, just farther apart. 
Quick being such a whiner and STEP ON THE GAS!
