I spent an amazing week at the Bonneville Salt Flats during Speed Week 2012, documenting the Richmond Stark Team as they tried to deal with the issues discovered by the SCTA Inspectors. It was a week full of emotional highs and lows, with frustration and excitement. In the end time was the winner stripping away the days that it took to finally get the car where it was, sitting on Course 1. In the attempt to get their first license, only one of the two engines fired and the dream to break the 417 mph record slipped away. Although the car wasn't able to show it's full potential, the team went home knowing what needed to be done to make sure 2013 isn't a wash. Five years, sweat, time and money, but it'll have to wait. I'm looking forward to editing what I shot and will post updates along the way. Also looking forward to 2013. I wouldn't miss it!

I've heard alot about your car and your work, two big block Hemi's one up front and one in the rear, Sure looks to me like it'll break 417 easy!! The only thing I'd change would be the Sacramento on the front to Loomis, Ca. Good speed to all of ya!!
