    This past week at Speedweek our good friend Vince Norton got into the 200 mph club. He set the XXO/BFMR record at 202.129 MPH with The Hard Way roadster. Another good friend Dave threw him a awesome party when he got home. After 10 years and multiple engine configurations Vince finally got his red hat. My family and friends couldn't be more happy for him. Here are some pictures. Thanks Sam

    I met Vince this past weekend after his record run. I asked him a ton of questions about his car and he went way out of his way to answer and explain all of them. Vince is a talanted fabricator and a hell of a nice guy!

    That's the way Vince always is, One of the coolest guys out there. I've been to bonneville 4 times and have only got to stay with vince the whole week once, it was an absolute blast. I hope to do it again next year.

    I had the honor of meeting Vince at his Party last weekend. He is very humble and a great guy to get to talk to. Here are some videos of Vince and of his party.
