Best thing about you Dave is ... if a fella had all the money in the world
to do this .... YOU could get him what he needed... Design it... build
it... and set the records... BUT... when I showed up with the Old Cast Iron

only went fairly fast on a Sunny day... but we had fun and got to hang out
on the Salt...
Life was Pretty damn Good..
