Sweet!!! If they only knew the story behind your rad-ride they would have given you more time/acclaim; and it would have been justly so I might add.

For what's its worth, you may be "nearly famous" across the airways but here on CF, you my friend, are an Icon!

They should've done a feature on you instead of have the reporter go around the track with a minivan.

Am I mistaken or did they refer to your car as a Ferrari?

Kewl, Short-throw.............

Adam Boca

That is too cool Mike! You and Don are famous!

V8 Juice

great, Mike. Next will be a feature show on SPEED channel. Remember to tell them it's the driver, not the car.

Nice!

Short-Throw

:o Ha, thanks guys!

I was scheduled to give the reporter a ride that day but time slipped away and it never happened. The club president had mentioned my name before they came out and we talked briefly but the segment was under three minutes and they filmed 8 hours, must have been fun editing.

I must say that film crew and all took it well getting rides. Smiles everywhere!

Gary,

Mike

Danny,

I'm glad I was driving....they would have needed a faster shutter speed if you were.

Mike

Short-Throw

nah, just our 15 Seconds (15 minutes: Warhol) of fame!

When they came out, they did visit our build site, but it was mostly a slab of concrete and a few framed pieces. It may have made the feature if they had a half hour show!

We're getting a little closer now........









Next season, it's party time!

David,

We could have used your camera skills for the 'stills' that day!

Mike:

Wow thanks for the compliment. I'm real new here, are you the one with the yellow car that was at Putnam and in the film clip?

If I can match up the people with the car's I'll send them some pictures.
