Anthony...you are the S**T, my friend!

All of you should know that Anthony (PEZi720) volunteered to help me out for the week and we really put him through the ringer. 2AM wake up calls every day, and one nasty morning at 12,500' when the wind was blowing 50mph with freezing fog and clouds blasting cold air to your core. All the while he's laying in the dirt mounting the front bumper on the car. It was nasty. And every day when I figured he wouldn't show up for more punishment...there he was. Ready to work. Never complained, never quit, and always was the first to get in there and get dirty.
In a world where people can be less than reliable, Anthony is the kind of guy we all should aspire to be like.

Anthony, thanks again. I sincerely appreciate your help, and am truly in your debt.

p.s. Ken doesn't look determined...he looks like a fat glob of sh**! Man, I need to go on a friggin diet!

See you next year...with 100 more hp and my eye on that silly arsed GT3.

Ken has a few videos here and there that i'm sure he'll be posting sometime soon... as for other front runners, the unlimited class has been trying to break the 10 minute barrier. Monster was the fastest with 10:11, and holds the record currently at 10:01... Millen finished this year with something like an 11:02 or something.

nope... it was towed down after my camera fell victim to a dead battery

yeah... it won't be in the same class next year though. this year was simply a testing year for it, and next year there will be a full class for GT-3 cars
