Thanks, Paul -

There have been faster vehicles on the salt, but nothing as ferocious as the Phoenix.

That truck was Carl's ultimate therapy. When he was in it and driving the salt speedway, nothing hurt, everything was possible and everyone cheered him on.

A dear departed soul who single-handedly exemplified the spirit of land speed racing in ways that would often take dozens to emulate.

Can you see that big grin?

I can and so very happy I got to call him "friend."

Carl's mob definitely brought caracter to the salt in many ways.
