If EP did a standing mile at any speed, his car would be the only one where the majority of miles occured from the mile event itself!

Way to go Ryan and Dad, I too know the feeling as my son Kyle did 202.5 this spring at the Texas Mile in an 05 GT just a couple of weeks after he turned 18. It takes a lot for Mom and Dad to be able to watch their son accomplish such a milestone. Its great having two teenagers in the 200 mph club.

Amazing! I am so proud of him... and his sister Lauren (16) who helped us ferry people back and forth to the staging area and who was VERY supportive of her brother. I couldn't be prouder of these two kids and all I can say is that there is a God and they got a lot of Cindy's genes!

As you should be, this is a reflection on how well you and Cindy raised them, and congrats to Ryan, what an accomplishement; Now then and since Ryan reached the "superstar" status, is there going to be a waiting list for a maintenance service appointment

Richard, you are more than partly responsible for this!! Ryan still raves about the opportunities that he had to go around the track with a driver as skilled as you are!!! You charged up his speed gene!!!

A superstud in a super car. Congrats ryan. I think this is a great first step into taking over your dad's car!!! Just dont take it out on a date as you will be focused on gt only and neglect the girl!!! Great pics too and what a great event it must have been. This means next time you come over for a service call you will get to my house in 10 minutes!!! :) congrats kendall and terry and monica. I think this may be a start of cooltech race team!!!

A job well done for Ryan and I'm so jealous... I remember my Chevy Monza couldn't go faster than 45 going uphill on the 60 when I was 19.
