Huge fail Spencer, you suck.
One thing I have learned in life, is that it is better to have tried and failed that to never tried at all and wonder "What if" for the rest of my life. So I dipped my toe into the land speed world here, and it would seem that I have had it run over, again and again and again. That's cool. I can take my lumps, especially when deserved. I am still progressing with this project.
We did in fact interview both Bo and Jim Burkdoll. They talked about that particular crash. It was an intense emotional moment that came across beautifully on film. It's a pity that these interviews did not make it on the final cut here. It's my fault for not reviewing the final cut prior to the funding campaign. So it's my fault. That's fine. In this case, it didn't cost loss of limb nor life. I can live with that mistake.
I do think it would be a huge disservice to all of you that are building your projects to race on the salt if I just folded shop with the first time I had a set back. I suspect that most of you have overcome worse problems than this to make it to the salt. If I simply abandon my dream here with the first hiccup what good would I be to telling stories? So my options are clear, fold or go forward learning from the experience and take my consequences as they come, and become a better person for it. I will choose the latter.
