The destination? Nevada – a land synonymous with vast deserts and limitless possibilities. Donald's goal is crystal clear: to break his own water-speed record and etch his name in history alongside that of his legendary father. With every detail meticulously arranged for this momentous journey, anticipation fills the air as both man and machine prepare for what lies ahead.
