Ken,
No kidding! Everyone on my team knows that they do NOT want me driving these contraptions around. I'm about the worst driver on our team.
The only reason why I was driving was that we just opened up the shop (last Saturday), and there were no students around yet... just me and Tim Railey.
It was the first time that I was able to see it running, so I didn't want to wait. It took off for the bridge, went over the bridge, caught some air, and left the bridge balanced.
Now, don't be alarmed... no one has repeated this act. We've added some weight and lost some speed. (By no means can we catch air now.)
After this suprising feat, the circuit breaker shut off and it took us at least a minute to be able to turn it back on again.
The rest of the team doesn't believe that this happened, but Tim can vouch for me!
Andy B.
ps... Wapner's on a 7:00, and K-Mart sucks.
pss... Mr. Baker... geesh! I am getting old.
