    Helluva a launch, Phil! BP
    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

    Didn't Phil race against Gary Ash in his M-5 at Osceola in 2008?

      Hey, Guido! Yes, we ran the diesel hauler and my M5 at South Bend in 2007. I beat him - barely - then, but we were running 24+ seconds back then. What a good time we had! Phil must have been cranking up the boost on that diesel hauler in those recent drags to cut off more than a full second. Great video.

        My mistake, it was 2007 as we were in Lancaster in 2008. At least I remembered the race...

          Great video. I am lucky enough to say I have the distinct pleasure to know both Phil Harris and Malcolm Berry. I have never known two more skilled individuals that are capable of making there own parts, designing and engineering fixes and upgrades to anything. They both have awesome shops and collections of fine Studebaker vehicles. Most of all they have always been there to lend a hand or offer advise when asked. Phil and Malcolm are two outstanding car folks and thank you...Mike

              Looks like fun. I need to try that if I can get over my fear of having to walk home.
