congrats to Rip and Maria too.
it takes a certain type of person to be a passenger. passenger is not for me, i'm either happily driving or biting my nails waiting for the ride to stop.

nice work Rip & Kite Mama and that inspired me to break another record .not as fast but fun just the same /9.6 kph in my wheelchair all down wind .today i will try to break that and get over the 10 kph mark.:yes:

What amazed me about this record is how simple Rip' made it seem to beat it.

One short run @ 39mph for Maria to figure out her seating then it only took about 10 minutes and they were home !

Great times !

The topper was getting to ride with D'sliddy again!

Back to Gary Point "dry lake" and our cramped style so we can practice for next year !:thumbup: :thumbup:
