To those few people not on Pete's mailing list, here is a video of thier Dodge Bros roadster at Speedweek and links to a bunch more Bonneville videos. They are trying to get as many eyes on this as they can. And I thought it was good. Check it out!    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JvV-BYNgt8

Here's what I really like about this -
1.  Not taking anything away from the the folks who run 200+, or 300+, this shows that a true racing adventure can still be had in the sub-120 range.
2.  That they've been able to do this with a body/engine combo that is so far off of the beaten path.
3.  The fact that this whole thing started out as a bet during an evening of cocktails is not unusual.  The fact that it actually got done is.
Great story, excellent video.  Thanks, Rich!
