Rumour has it that Ted T looked at Britt at some point during the build and said "Geez, Britt - even a **** is pointed at both ends!"
While I apologise for Ted's language, I agree with him completely. Other rumours state that is had less drag gong backwards, and I'm sure there are others just as much "fun"
Kudos to Britt for trying. The rating advantages must have been huge.
