It sure sounded sweet when it passed us on the highway and we were already at 75 mph!

Glen said he passed it in the Bronco at 105 mph on the beach on the third day. He couldn't stop talking about it :-).

Edsel sounded Bad A$& flying by us. Bummer it DNFed, but glad to learn that it hadn't been wadded up like we heard at the finish. What caused the DNF?

Congrats on your effort Todd, that race was monumental and I'll never forget one minute of it!!

I saw the Edsel at the finish - did it actually break and quit somewhere??

I agree, Greg. That was an unforgettable event!

My bad if it finished, just heard it had problems, but great to hear it finished.
Still reliving all the great new memories of this amazing event.
