    Thanks for all the compliments guys. It really means alot to have all the support you have shown to Bobby and I. Its alot of work but its so worth it to walk away doing something that no one has ever done in the past. Its a great feeling.
    Discovery Channel said something about airing the show in December. We'll let all who's interested know when we find out....Lucky
    The new records are:
    V4F-GL-- 125 mph
    We decided to go faster.
    V4F-GL--135.8 mph
    We jumped classes to Fuel Streamliner
    V4F-FS--104 mph on blown head gasket

    Hey Bob you might just have something there.. The only problem is you pay for gas and then we put you to work all week....Still sounds good to me...LOL
    Seriously though, I'll keep you in mind.

    Also I wanted to personally thank KiwiKev for all the help and photos he shot this trip...Good to have you on board Kevin.....Lucky

    Great story and photos Kev. Ya gotta love it when you go along with the crew of a car like that that goes out and sets a new record and then turns around and ups it.,
    I sure hated to miss it this year, I almost flew to Salt Lake with my tent, sleeping bag and back pack and stood out alongside the highway to Wendover with my jalopy journal shirt on and thumb out.

    Congrats guys! Great work. I got laid-off work and had to cancel. Seeing this helps take the sting out. And hey - I'm wearing my Old Crow shirt!
