Having trouble getting motivated after 242 MPH on the salt!!
« on: October 18, 2004, 08:28:05 PM »
I'm sitting here at work working, but for some reason I'm just a little distracted! :wink:  :lol:

I tried slamming three bottles of mountain dew, no good, still no adrenaline rush!! :lol:

A big thank you to Hank for his generosity, and all the help he has given me in getting on the salt, I couldn't have done it without him.

John, congratulations on your AA, I still get chills when I watch the video, it sounds like a banshee wail/jet/unknown force kind of thing all in one!

Seb, it was great meeting you, and I still start laughing everytime I see a Jeep Grand Cherokee!!! :lol:  :lol: (you had to be there!)

Thanks to everyone for their help, hope to see you all again soon!

I'm going to try to post some pics, I don't think this board likes my photo hosting, so for right now I'll just link what photos I've found elsewhere.

Ready to launch

 :lol: Glad it's not just me. :lol:

It would have been an embarassing way to die, choking to death on a hamburger, because I was laughing so hard.  :lol:

Hey Troy, see you next time. :thumb:

John, the video is in 15 second chunks, that's what my little Sony camera takes.

I can email you all of the clips, or I can send you a CD with everything I've got on it, I've got quite a bit!

Email me at: rz350ypvs@yahoo.com
