Hey Doug
Landspeed racing has always been cool, just needed a jump start to wake up
the new comers and a few old ones. This sport has a draw to the few of us in
the world that are lucky enough to have in our blood. We have a special
family that out shines all other sports regardless of the type. LAND SPEED
RACING FOREVER.
