    As I just picked up a HS this week I was searching the web for the rules. On the pinball.org sight I found this little info:

    "High Speed was based on the true story of Steve Ritchie being chased by the cops, while doing 146mph in his 1979 Porsche 928."

    Makes me want to get my HS shopped up and running.

    You should really listen to Steve Ritchie telling this whole story on TOPcast Show 32!

    It's an awesome story.

    Steve Ritchie also put the 'K' in Mortal Kombat... he told the guys creating the game that it was "cooler".

    Wouldn't it have been "Kooler?"

    OH YEAH! Wait that's Kool-aid.

    I was just going to link to that, that story makes HS about 1000x cooler.

    Maybe on The Getaway he had the super charger and didn't put it on the first HS. Both awesome pins!

    I wonder if SR still has the Lamborghini Diablo shown in the HS2 promo.
