Ron, looks like everyone had a great time and loved the tanker. Looked great running down the road. You did a nice job. Now all you need is a small portable crane to help people get in and out of it. Maybe an ejection seat for exiting.

I love the picture of you coming down the road. It's like you stepped back in time and you are doing 200 at Bonneville
