You catching the LSR bug ?

Dude! I was reading about Breedlove and Arfons going at it hammer and tongs back in the 60's. I've been interested in salt racing since then. I didn't get out there until 1998 for the 50th anniversary Speedweek, and I stayed the full 8 days. Haven't shut up about it since. Ask Peewee.... Every other sentence I spoke to him included the words "on the salt"....

Something about LSR!

AND CONGRATS to Team Vesco! Those guys have done what was, not too long ago, thought to be impossible.
