What A Fast Guy!
Whew! What a week! After the excitement of Don Williams' accomplishment, the worry and concern during Kenny's rides (apologies to Kenny whose rides were amidst the fuel issue), and the jubilation with the new record, we are exhausted.
Today, we arrived on the salt at 6:00 am to get the car ready to run at 7:00 am. Somehow the four of us were able to get most of the jobs done and get the car with driver to the line. But the whole time we were wishing we had our crew back! We even had time to ask someone walking by to take our picture.
Don drove an incredible 237+ to up the record to 235+. Pretty exciting. In fact, too exciting – he told us that he “darted” off the course in the 5th mile because the salt was so slippery. He exact words were “That was the scariest ride I have ever had! I am not going to drive that fast again!” After talking to other drivers, the conditions were the same for them. Just between you and me, I think we will be back again next year!
After packing up and saying goodbye to the salt we headed home. If we lived in Colorado we would almost be home. Since it’s Ohio … maybe on Monday.
Thank to everyone who supported and helped us. We truly do have a TEAM!
