Nice. Glad to have you onboard!
They're doing the bike now. Not my cut of tea, but neat to see the unusual two wheelers heading up the hill.

Yeah Bob, I'm more of a 4 wheeler as well, but that's some classic 2 wheel iron there. Not too mention some of the best riders ever. Jet bike with a Rolls Royce helicopter engine.   :o

Wife is out, I'm "bacheloring it" for the night.
Made myself a large bowl of popcorn and a cold beer in an iced mug.
Oh...I even turned on the subwoofer.

Such awesomeness.......just.......oh.

Can't wait to see Richard Petty race up the hill.  :thumb: I think I'll get a lump in the throat.

Oh...and here's a shout out to Scott F.  :wink:

Guess I'd better check it out then. Saw some of the classic F1 & road race cars yesterday, along with the drifters, & that amazing Dakar Rally truck of Martinis (Rothmans ?). If you didn't catch that segment check for a replay. It's a monster, but with all the weight below the driver they were running the hill like a Jag.  :duh:  Great stuff.  :thumb: (yeah, at work also, but no commute  :D)

Yep, saw that yesterday. Impressive to say the least. Just watched the 800 HP Citroen Loeb had built for the Pikes Peak last year. He took the Hill Climb time by a sec over a number of other 800 HP cars. Mike Skinner's NASCAR Toyota pickup ended up 8th fastest I think, top 10 for sure.  :o

Just watched the interview with Derek Bell. I remember him from when I was very young.

The "Hoonicorn Mustang" is amazing. If you think it was neat watching him at Goodwood.....
Check this out. Turn your amps to "11"  :o
