We can beat it.

We will have Al run the electronics, and we'll use "The Sled" for transport.

Well you'd also need a chase car or two to provide diversions if the "man" does catch up to you. Laughing

In my younger days, I once made it to eugene in 1hr12minutes. Did it at like 3am. One of the stupider things I have ever done.

I think we have all done some stupid driving *looks around*. But it was all done on local basis were we most likely knew the roads. These guys are doing it for days on end in areas they dont know. Alot more risk.







(flew between a semi and concrete retaining wall at WOT 129mph to make the exit infront of the semi. Jurking the wheel at that speed to make the turn as well because I was running late for a photoshoot).

I think my best was no where near that guy. North Carolina to Gig Harbor in 72 hours. 3000 miles in three days. But that was in a box van/trailer. And that's with the required stops for strips clubs, and bars at night.

Sweet, didn't you also have another unscheduled stop on an icy road in Colorado or something?
