Thanks for all the kind words of support while enduring more "crushing word count".
Michael - Not worried going forward. Went right back at it and still love the uphill. Absolutely know the line NOT to use through it now.
Ted - Thanks for your kind words. Really enjoyed meeting and speaking with you.
Sid - Eyes wide open the whole way. E- Ticket ride for sure. Card carrying member now.
Chris - We did keep that wheel as a most excellent memento. Thanks for your support.
Bob - You have a degree in degrees... You are correct sir. Nice illustration of the issue.
Dick - My only comfort in all this was knowing I've got a long way to go to equal your uphill crash damage totals.
Understand your aversion to LRP but after going there for almost 40 years... I'm romantically involved.
Doug - Yes with all this entertaining driving we should be with Matt Ferratusco at his Disney stunt training. Love the hubless wheel, catchers mitt and "Classic" modern art crash damage sculpture garden. So good. In truth I just couldn't stand the thought of Richard Heistand holding the altitude record at the uphill in an RT but sadly there is no photo evidence of my Joey Chitwood, Dukes of Hazzard performance.
Nick - Thanks - Yes, we've both now "been there, done that".
Gerardo - The only bootie involved is the big one I've been kicking myself with since doing this... But that will soon be retired as well.
Again, thanks all for your kind words and support. Onward and (ahem...) upward!
