Big Red
 
They've been spotted at Bonneville! I'm sitting at the two mile and watched them push past, haven't seen a run yet.

Anyone on here connected with the car?

Pretty excited to see the legend up close, such a bad ass car.

:king:

Dan,

My favorite car! Did you get pictures? My son, Ryan, is there with Lee Sicilio's Twilight Zone (69 Daytona Charger) -- they will attempt 300+, maybe later today.

I found Big Reds pits but they aren't around, I'll head back after a few more of the big dogs run. Looking forward to seeing that charger run, another full body car that can boogie!

You boner!! I told Gwen that I was going over to Bonneville after leaving Sonoma this last weekend.... but then we decided we needed to go to Sun Valley to interview builders and she wanted me to come home and take Stella (our Lab)... so I just headed home instead. Damn nab it! I'd have liked to have gotten together down there -- and Bonneville is on my bucket list!

Just ran a 185 an change on a 244 record, not bad at all for a "street car"

Me boner? You're the boner! I told you a year ago I was going to use you for your rig! My free lil 16' Komfort has no AC, I'm good but my boys are strugglin.

So I just talked with the Big Red camp. Turns out they are making licensing runs, next will be in the 220 range. They've added a big honkin pro charger and are hoping for 255mph. Cars making a lil more than 1600hp and almost as much torque, they'll need that torque if they want to see 255.

Super nice gal I talked with, she said she recognized me. I must be famous! Asked my shirt size and came back with a T shirt, hat and poster!
Cars really cool, you can tell it gets used. The discs they put on the wheels have a print of the rims and big discs they normally run, pretty cool.

I'll try and load pics tonight from my laptop

Your boys would have loved me! A/C --- AND satellite TV!! HAHAHAHAHA



So here's your assignment should you feel like it or have the time....


Is there a "wash place" for the underside of something like my semi -- to get the salt off the truck and trailer??? It really bothers me to think about driving out there and having all that salt under my brand new rig just eating things up....
