Congrats again sir, we're not worthy.

Are there any pictures? Can you talk a little about the last return pass?

It was the best week ever, being able to see Joe make great runs, and him being faster every run, fantastic! Way to go JOE! Hope you Stacy and Scott are able to get it back together for more runs in Oct. :cheers:

When I handed Joe my scribbled sticky note at about the 6 1/2 mile, he threw both hands in the air and shouted for all the mountain tops to hear. We hugged, I think we almost cried. A moment in time I'll never forget ,there with a true lsr champion!
 I felt so bad to see Joe and his leathers covered in oil for his back up run.
Joe, thanks for letting me enjoy a brief glimpse of your monumental run!

WOW! Way to go Joe. That's soooo cool. I knew you'd get that black cruise missile flying. Great job at knocking out the gremlins as they popped up too. You guys hit this one waaay out of the ball park.  8-)

Congratulations on you mind blowing 272mph run!!! I can still feel your 252 at Speed Week and I thought that was amazing! Way to go! We are SO proud of you!!! It was such a pleasure to work with you at Speed Week and I hope we get the opportunity again in the future!

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help with the rebuild.
