How dare you post something like that!!! I can only build one car at a time and I'm building a digger now. Heavy sigh. I could definitely catch that bug!
Please remember the Bryant family in your thoughts or prayers. I can't imagine loosing a family member in my car.
God that video is cool Ryan. It was nice talking to you for a bit and I am glad I got to see the Old Crow lakester in person. Like you said...religious experiece. But for the record dude, the Nugget where you were staying has nothing on the rainbow as far as cheese. For gods sake you at least had a starbucks. The rainbow looked like a Chuckee Cheese for AARP members. Rainbows bursting out of Saturn while purple neon festooned the walls with fake gold plates making me feel like Liberace's collection was melted down just to liven West Wendover up a bit. Anyways dude...good times.
Oh no, this puts the event in a totally different light, my prayers and thoughts are going out to the family and friends.
#### Kind reminds you of when they uncorked Chuck Yeager in Glamourus Glennis !!! Very cool !!! >>>>.
Cool stuff Ryan. you're fortunate to be part of it. I need to get out there with my little guy real soon.
I went the last two years...had to miss this year...you're killing me. Problem for us was getting sleep. All day @ the track...all night in the parking lot. If you're staying @ the Nugget eat a few tacos and drink a beer for me...heh.
Just a quick update for you fellas. We were trying to beat our own record for three staight days and we just couldn't get there so we decided to jump a cl***. We have been through a hole in the piston and then we decided to run 3 97 strombergs but we needed a spacer and couldn't find one so a good friend Jeffery fashioned some spacers out a piece of wood to help out. It's been real exciting year on the salt fixing the car. Needless to say that all we have been working our ***es off not. I am happy to say we are in impound now.. . Good times. Thanks to everyone who helped us track down parts, you know who you are and it's good to have quality friends like you.... Lucky
As another update, Old crow put the fenders on and ran 128 and change this morning. It's in impund, and will do a back up run to re-set their own record. Big ups to the whole team. It's always an amazing trip, and I'm completely honored to have been a part of it.
