      From what I've heard Ed say about it over the last couple of years, my understanding was that he was actually HOPING that someone would break it and that it was indeed possible based on some of the things that didn't go right when he did it.

      I think that would be too hard to pull off realistically, but dedicated pit stops with crews, NASCAR-style quick fuel cans, etc and away from gas stations for a quicker off-on turn with less traffic is the next logical step. Doing this without a spotter plane was crazy.

    Absolute LEGENDS! Brock, Ed, Arne, Doug, Berkeley, and the rest of the legends are first of all bonkers, but should have the respect of the automotive world for not only pulling off such a feat, but for doing it safely. Considering what it takes to pull this of, it's mind blowing to think there haven't been any accidents, but it speaks to the care, planning & driving abilities of these guys. It'll be interesting to see what happens from here.

    Hey Ed, just wanted to say that your channel is amazing. I think an unintended consequence of this repository for automotive insanity you’ve created is that it’s bringing the car community together through these stories. It’s the type of things we used to hear from our parents/mentors in the car community, and creating a platform to share those stories enriches and deepens the automotive culture that we all share. I just wanted to say thank you, as much of a kiss up as this is.
