Landracing.com founder, go fast motorcycle racer, 4-wheel racing speedster, and former 200 MPH Club Man of the Year, Jon Amo talks about creating this website, about racing, and some things I'd rather not mention here...

If you enjoy the article, leave a comment at the end so my editor knows people from the land speed racing community stopped by for a look. Thanks to you SALT ADDICTION is approaching its 3rd year.

Enjoy the ride...
-Rocky

Good story, as usual.  I enjoyed it like I do so many of 'em, Rocky -- because we know just about each and every person/team that you've written about in the column.  Jon and Joe wrenching in the back of their trailer, in the dark, probably outside their room at Motel 6 in Wendover -- that's a classic Amo shot.  And - one more time -- thanks, Jon, for starting up this website.  I'm still having a ball running it :lol:

  Great story and reminder of my youth. With 5 younger brothers on a hot day ice cubes in pee and you could sucker one of the younger ones for some "lemonaid"

My comment for the magazine was returned as a BAD ADDRESS and I took it right from the story.
