I just returned home from Monterey. I drove my Beck Speedster from San Diego to Monterey with no problems and an average speed of 85 mph. It was a great drive all the way up the 101. We drove the car all over Monterey and showed at the race track and we got rave reviews. I got the chance to take it to Willow Springs race track just north east of LA. I started out in the morning and ran the car on the track for a couple of hours and then started home. We decided to continue East on the 138 through the Mojave desert. The temp. reached an amazing 110 degrees and the car never over heated and I drove 80 mph the whole way. The whole trip was around 2,000 miles and it ran like a champ It was amazing if any one has any questions email me at josh1102@hotmail.com I love telling the story

Josh:

Congrats. From your email it sounds like you a very exciting time. What color is the Beck? What the engine set up?

Have fun.
