Thank you all for the kind words and support surrounding yesterday's concession video. The new record holders will be on to tell their story after the dust settles a bit.

[@trenthazbroek5602]

Hey Ed, thanks so much for putting out such great content with vinwiki and all its guests. I would love for you to join the subreddit r/TheCannonballRun. Its a community based around the cannonball Run and everything surrounding it. 👍

And by "dust settling" you mean statute of limitations expiring.

Congrats on the exponential growth of your channel Ed! It has been amazing to watch as this channel gets more and more popular. Wish you and your team the best!

[@theanomalous1401]

Sir, I didn't get a chance to respond to your video yesterday, so I want to say that you were always humble and respectful of the record you held. Now that someone has surpassed it, you are still all that and gracious in accepting the new record. Qualities like these are to be admired by all and should be the standard that we all should aspire to be. I believe you have lived up to the vision of what Brock Yates had in mind for what the "Fraternity of Lunatics" is meant to be.

On Touristenfahrten-Days, the Nürburgring is considered a public road, and as such, passing is only allowed on the left. Not too big a deal much of the time, but as Schmee mentions, there are often all kinds of people on the track from semi-professional race car drivers in all out track day cars to families with mom, pop, grandma and granddad and 3 kids in the family mini-van. If it's crowded (Easter weekend, omg!) I'd stick to driving semi-sedately, enjoying the scenery, and passing on the left. Doing major damage to a Senna is a disturbing thought. You can make that thought much worse by adding three deaths in a mini-van.
