    Yeah, meeting Bill was definetly one of the best parts of our journey this year. When he first saw the tank he walked up and said, "It's a Jewel". You could see the p***ion was still in his eye's. And then he turns out to be one of the coolest guy's out there.

    Great news on the success, and to meet Bill Burke on top of it all.
    Congratulations fellas.
     
  26. As DE SOTO indicates there are other people involved with the car. I'll let Bobby talk about that as I was just along for the ride. Here is Logan, pretty sure he does more than just provide shade.

    That's right, This years success would definitely not have been possible without the help of Tyrell (Aka Kid Rock) on the left, and Logan Davis on the right. The guy in the middle is the official Pit Bike Hog. haha. On a side note. Tyrell has joined the Air Force and is now off to basic training. Let's all wish him luck.

    It was a pleasure to share that bottle of Old Crow, even if it was only a little... (could not handle another shot)

    Kev, you might want to keep those pictures hidden away..

    to the rest of the Hotel 6 party crew. it was a blast drinking with you... but i have a question. Megan---How bad was the hangover the next morning... and who won the contest you worked so far to put together.....

    Shout out to my new HAMB buddy, 'Babysitter'.. we have to talk, PM me...

    Way to go guys. Your tank was COOOOL before the records! Going to Bonneville is definitely on my T-bucket list. Must have been awesome to be parked next to the Beatty tank and meeting Bill Burke. I know the adventure will continue.Be safe til then, Cat
