The Doctor And The Designer Go For Broke
About this episode
The episode explores the journey of a motorcycle designer and a plastic surgeon as they attempt to set a world speed record at Bonneville.
A motorcycle designer and a plastic surgeon walked into a bar in New Orleans. What happened next? A plan to set a world speed record on the salt flats at Bonneville. Ex-Confederate designer JT Nesbitt and LSU-based surgeon Praz Patcha fell into a fast friendship and decided to take a shot at speed record immortality. But nothing comes easy on the salt, as Nesbitt knows. For Patcha, who’d be doing the riding, this was his first go-round. How did they do? When the pair finally made it back to New Orleans after the attempt, Patcha broke into tears. But were they tears of joy or tears of sorrow? All will be revealed within.
