Summary: Military man and darling wife. People doubted they had the stuff to do even the first Fast Forward, but they went for it, failed to get it, and still finished well. No other team then or since went out to a standing ovation.

Affiliation Commentary: They led the way for a lot of Affiliation cliches: We're going so fast we're not being smart, and, My wife is one hell of a woman [tear rolls down cheek]. You can't beat the classics.

Fatal Flaw: Age had nothing to do with it. They got caught with American money on the side of the highway and no ready way to change it. This held them up long enough for the competition to slip by.

Memorable Moment: The ovation at the end. Well, their whole race, really.

All-Star Material: Absolutely.
