You need to change your name to "Yellow Flash". That's probably the fastest that truck has ever gone in it's life.

Unless something is going on, you can just go drive. Keep in mind it is a vast featureless area and you can get "lost" if you get too far from a landmark.

And the salt will get everywhere, especially if it is even a little wet.

Believe me you don't what to be jumping anything when you are going 90mph on the water. LOL We have two rivers here the Apalachicola [no stumps] and the chipola [runs into the deadlake] the racing boat was a 10 foot homemade tunnelram with a 110 blackmax mercery. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME !!!!! lol lol lol
