It is a bronze star. Petry has both of the neck awards. There has a list on his Wiki page.

Yep, those are transport tires.

My buddy does local mud wrestling - tractor pulling with one, the 15" skinnies are required to get it on the trailer.

I believe that photo is of the Exomotive production line.

That photo shouldn't exist. It should have immediately exploded, as no photo can contain that much awesome.

In reply to Appleseed:

Michael Bay was said to have seen that picture and quietly wept in the corner as he realized that all that he had ever done in his career was for nothing.

Except of course the whole, "earning $3.2 million per explosion" thing he's got going on.

So he's got that going for himself. Which is nice.

That 'cage' made me pee myself a little... the guys who posted this pic are quite proud of their 'accomplishmsnt'.

AHHHHH. My blood ran cold when I saw this. Looks like NHRA/IHRA have a low threshold when it comes to cage certification.

I climb into one of these things pretty regularly, so when a drag racer who is smaller and thinner than me wants a swing out door bar for his drag car, I roll my eyes rudely. Suck it up, Bob Costas.

Hate seeing an unpadded cage in a street car too. Don't much like a padded one in a street car, for that matter.
