McDonald and Pitts out shine Obama
« on: June 18, 2009, 05:51:27 PM »
Todays San Mateo County Times just came and it has a small color picture of Barack Hussein Obama and a large color picture of Dave and Lionel standing with the Firebird on the salt. Nice article about them and the car and Bonneville in general. Even if the story says we are drag racing. Nice deal.

Very cool!   :cheers:

Most newspapers and TV think drag racing is anytime you break the posted speed limit.

 And truly, the successful racers treat it like a 5 mile drag race. So I guess the article was close enough for government work! Nice article on great racers.

My local paper had only a B&W pic.  Still was generally a good article and neat to see some press for land speed racing.
