Worlds Fastest Optimist
« on: April 13, 2011, 09:21:57 AM »

This is the story of Craig "Peg Leg" Anderson … The World’s Fastest Optimist.  His passion for motorcycles and racing, even after a life changing accident, makes this a tale of both courage and inspiration.  Craig, being a charter member of the ‘glass half full’ club, is an AMA Land Speed racing record holder.  Watching Craig’s story will have you cheering and just may inspire you to ask yourself   “What are MY potentials?”  “What are MY possibilities?”

Latest release on YouTube from Lou Fischer & Bonneville Stories.
