Hey I have never riden with Blane in a car before except when I was driving, but I would be a little concerned with a guy that carries his own race suit and helment with him everywhere he goes!

That has to be a blast. How fast do they let you drive there, and how much "training" is involved?

The only problem with that track is there are no speed bumps for Blaine to jump! I hope Hertz, Avis and Enterprise arent reading this thread!

Out of the 22 people that went down together with Poker Runs America the fastest speed posted in our group was 143 and that was by Blane. We actually had two women drive over 120 MPH. There is very little training and you have to follow a lead car. If you push him he will let you go faster up to around 140. In the ride along cars you ride at 160 MPH. Everyone that did the ride along first ran faster when they got behind the wheel. I wish now I had done that but I paid for my ride and for Blane's ride since he let me drive the Donzi in the poker run and did not want to invest more.

Come on down and I'll take you down there and do it again with you. I need to get Tommie to do the ride along she would love it.

Take note of my car #45.

Horses and a Stage Coach!

Alright the big brown truck showed up this morning with the weapons of choice.

I really want to thank Brett at BBlades. He is by far one of the most knowledgable folks I have ever spoke to about props. What seperates him from the others is his experience with Mercury Racing for many years and his knowledge of the individual hull brands and what it takes to make them run. He especially knows and understands the Baja true vee and I will be very surprised if we don't get to add the "90 MPH" club logo permanently after we try these.

Jason this is a great idea and I will be happy to contribute. $$$

How about we add the year and the names of the folks in the club?

Then we can update it again in a year or so. Just an idea.

Thanks and enjoy this beautiful weekend.

I like the idea & my best friends just call me "Cash" so please make the checks payable to reflect that.
And YOU are lucky! You weren't in the office that day!
