Amazing result.
Any more pictures of the car - I assume it is a Gurney/Savage "tribute"??

Oh I know the music is........well ( he really does not care for the tune either he rolled his eyes when I asked him) I think there is a vid with out it let me see if I can find it, he didnt make it make the vid his passenger did

I never can understand why people have to put some body elses tune to their work but

Also a tid bit of info on the track it was only paved part of the way for the last 100 years or so,

and now environmentalists have made them pave the whole road due to the gravel ending up in the river clogging it up over the years,

so this is the first year with all asphalt all the way to the top so several records have been broken ,also

this was a delayed race it is usually on July 4 the weekend but due to the fires in that area the race was postponed
