My thought is that Big's dream is to make some money off this.

What does that guy have to prove running 200 mph on an electric motor?

I think it's because 50 Years ago he was the first one to break 200 MPH in a fuel car, I think it's great that he is able to get a NHRA licence to run that fast ,
I dont think Don needs the money.

Appears that Don has also got a new bicycle when I saw him 30 some years ago at Lawrence dragstrip he was using a very old bike to inspect the track.

I think he is lucky to be able to ride a bike at 82 Years old.
