I wish the guys all the luck.
I'm really only interested in the cars you can
drive on the street and thier records though.
I don't see anyone ever driving one of those things
on the street, if you know what I mean.
But I guess they were not driving the blue flame on
the street either. HE! HE! HE! Kurt

It's kinda cool, but I like to watch real cars with a driveshaft go fast.
