Hey Rob, just curious. How many times prior to this had you driven over 200 mph?

I'll figure it out eventually, but it's not like the video is unwatchable, I'm just really picky

Now what could this news from Pete possibly be, I wonder...
I couldn't watch it at all this evening... It says I don't have permission???

hum, I've never driven anything over 200 before...

I'll admit now that I've done it, and it's orgasmic... That I was very nervous about going that fast, thinking what if I don't like it and I've got this car that I no longer want to drive... But, that's a worry of the past... I absolutely love it...

Enjoy!

Man that video kicked ass but sucked when the head gasket went, i was like damn he didn't cuss or say anything under his breath, control brother control. I know you were pissed in your head though! lol

I have the youtube video set to "Public" and there's no music in the background to have any kind if licensing issues...

Are you currently in the United States?

I wasn't pissed at all... More disappointed I missed the record... But it's still there for me to take... The lack of vocals were related to the oh shit going on in my head when I realized I had no power brakes or steering...

My biggest concern after that was how bad was she hurt...

I learned a ton in four passes... Call it force fed education... Biggest thing I learned was how badly I want to go back... Omg, living starts at 170

Does Mississippi count... I finally got it to load... Nice, wish I could drive my car that fast...

So it's no longer tactile.

But for real. I can't imagine.

Was it scary a little?

I mean, fear is a type of respect. And I know you respect the speed and the car. But was it scary beyond that?

Randy, for me it really wasn't... I can't speak for others as I've scared the crap out of some people in my car... Some of it intentionally, some not so much...

To me it's thrilling... Exciting, beyond what any of my words can adequately express... I had doubts, but they are gone... But I can honestly say I wasn't scared at all.. Like I told Corey, Justin, Justin etc, I'm hooked and wanting more...

As for the respect, I've had that for a long time in my car... Unlike in more relaxed settings, I do not text and hardly talk on the phone while driving it... Brandi can do way too many things too quickly to not concentrate on driving...

On my Friday night sojourns, if I'm driving Brandi, I absolutely will not drink any alcoholic beverages... NONE... Just can't/won't take any chances...

I have gone 200+ mph on a few occasions.

But the vehicle I was in had DELTA on the outside.

Man, I'm sorry. I know you were disappointed and heard it in your voice when you asked what your mph was... I know how badly you wanted it.

I believe we position ourselves to be "lucky" and if you feel you are, you did it to yourself... And that's a great thing...

Whatever it is coming your way, is well deserved and that's awesome...

Waiting for more specifics...

Looking back you're right... Before you guys got there in the truck, I asked the guy with the fire brigade and he didn't know... I knew it was faster until the gasket let loose, but, the record can fall in March...
