I can't see 1000mph coming with how much it weaves around due to the wind at 250.

Did you have to pay to race at santa pod and other drag strips?
I've often thought that when you had your accident and your life changed dramatically what happened to your business and everything? Did others sort it for you while you was in a coma, or did you have to sort it all out when you got discharged a year or two later?
