Thanks, Paul -

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

Yep, between the Phoenix and the push truck on a still day you couldn't see forever....
Yep, it's still Friday  :cheers:

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."

LOL, That's a good one Stainless!
Carl's mob definitely brought caracter to the salt in many ways.

I always liked to run 2 or 3 cars after him, the black smoke was easy to follow to the 5:cheers:
