    It’s so cool to hear great enthusiast stories that are relatable to the “average joe” we can’t all afford Ferrari or Mclaren etc... but we COULD afford an oil pan, some zip ties, a sheet of plywood and a pit bike:) thanks to you VIN WIKI, my racing dreams aren’t over👍

    Keep Alan coming back he has some good stories. That's the cool thing about these types of events. Your always going to have the big dogs who spend obscene amounts of money and time to be at the very top and the you'll always have room in there somewhere where more normal people can have fun and compete at reasonable prices. Its not all about speed it's about having a good time while doing it. I bet all your motorcycles combined don't equal the amount of money that went into the 700mph car. That's perfectly fine because having fun is more important than going bankrupt.

    At 118 he was still pulling away. He told me if i cant do 128 ill never pass him. We settled in at 115 or so for about 45 minutes. Every time I drove across I-80. I wonder if they would let 80,000 lbs vehicle race
