    What a crew you have helping you with this. The guys with the car, absolutely top notch. They’re literally falling over each other double and triple checking each safety parameter. Meg is a godsend, plus she can poke your ears back when needed 😜…. Lol. Congratulations sweetie! Another job well done for all!

      The first videos had me pushing on the foot stool under my computer desk, as she did the runs. The runs in this video literally gave me chills. I really wanted to see her set a new record and I agree it was so cool to hear and see her actually push the car and engine.

    Thank you, Meg, for your efforts to bring us these daily updates! Loved the "wanna do the math on that?" conversation. Just casually discussing, "Really need to enter closer to 250 and exit at 270." - you know, like this is no different than making a grocery run to Krogers. And I'm like, "Holy crap; do you ever get to actually put BOTH HANDS on the steering wheel?!?!" Two-hundred plus on that washboard surface with just the left hand on the wheel. I'd pee my pants... Alex, you rock! This was a great series!

Getting back to back to back certifications is a rare thing between weather and parts breakages both of which the team handled well. Love the walk thru of the process too. Very informative. Maybe they make you the new team drver and you do this each year until you talk dad into building you one hahaha.
