After that run Phil got out of Bob's car and shook his head. Handed Bob the key's and said "your going to need third gear syncros". Also I remember Phil saying something like after missing third gear he backed out of it a bit. Hence the 125 MPH.
Man did we have fun that day. Later on Bob grabbed me by the head with one arm and told me he like's his new little Eyetallion buddy from New York. Bob has been a good and well respected friend ever since.
