LAND SPEED RACING IS ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING THINGS YOU COULD EVER DO. TO JUST GET STARTED YOU NEED THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF PATIENCE, DETERMINATION, PASSION, AND INGENUITY. THAT’S BEFORE YOU STRAP YOUR ASS IN THE SEAT AND TRY TO LAUNCH YOUR ASS DOWN THE SALT LIKE A MISSLE TRYING TO BREAK ANY SPEED RECORDS. IT’S NOT A SPORT THAT YOU CAN PRACTICE, AND AFTER 3 YEARS OF WAITING FOR THE WEATHER AND SALT TO COOPERATE, YOU MIGHT JUST GET ONE PASS IN A DAY TO TRY AND MAKE YOUR DREAM COME TRUE AND SET A NEW RECORD.

OUR FRIEND CHRIS BRIDGEWATER HAS EVERYTHING AND MORE THAT IT TAKES TO BE A LAND SPEED RACER. ONE OF THE MOST SOLID, AND HARDEST WORKING PEOPLE WE KNOW, WE WERE HONORED TO BE OUT IN UTAH WITH HIM TO HELP AND SUPPORT HIM ON HIS JOURNEY. AND ON THE FIRST DAY ALL OF THAT WAS CHALLENGED, HIS FIRST PASS TOOK 3.5 HOURS OF WAITING IN LINE, ONLY TO SPUTTER HIS WAY DOWN THE TRACK FOR A SPEED AROUND 140 MPH, ENOUGH FOR A RECORD, BUT NOT EVEN CLOSE TO HIS PERSONAL GOAL. BUT BACK TO THE PITS WE WENT TO GRAB BEERS, BRAINSTORM, MAKE SOME CHANGES AND GET THE BIKE READY FOR TOMORROW.
