Here's Kevin and Bond two hundred and righty feet in the air.
Kevin headed for a smoke and Mike headed for Revolution so Bond and I took
the Great American Raceway for a spin. I do like little plaques like
this that you'd find in the first batch of theme parks. You'd see
little historical markers or plaques that gave the Greek name for various
plants all around parks like Great America or Astroworld. It was like
they were trying to entertain and be a little bit educational. I liked
it and while things like this don't bring in the crowd they show pride in
ones park and just add to the atmosphere.
It's scary to think that in seven more years Bond won't need the rail in
the center of the road to drive.
Like a good driver Bond kept his eyes on the road while he drove.
