    Thank you everyone for coming along for the ride. As you now know, it was a memorable trip. And, as you may have expected, we're putting the wheels in motion for the next one. A-V8 road trip, anyone?

    Sorry to hear of all your troubles, I had no idea. It was still good to meet and talk to you in staging. We'll race next time. ;)

    Regarding the porn star remark above, I met Harry Reems at an event in the ‘70’s (long story) and his ‘stache was very close to that!

    Great write up! And this is the best pic from the article, you don't have to know hot rods to know that's what it is.

    "I almost had him" yea we all know that feeling!

    Really enjoyed that, you had a whole lot of fun!

    I haven't seen any comments about it but I'm just wondering did the lack of sand and sea affected the vibe at all?

    Hah exactly! For my money, I didn't mind the lack of beach elements. It opened the door to a different genre of drag machine, which made it even more interesting. Can't wait to come back next time with more cylinders.
