Default Congrats Rad Rides
I am not sure if there is anybody from Rad Rides by Troy on here, but I just wanted to say congrats on their Salt Flat record .

Quote:
Breaking News from the Bonneville Salt Flats
Friday, August 18

This morning at 8:22 AM the "BLOWFISH" delivered the required second run to secure the world record for Blown Fuel Competition Coup, engine class F.

At 255.5 MPH, George Poteet drove the car just under 25 mph faster than the previous record, which has stood for 16 Years!



"This is only the beginning!" an ecstatic Troy stated..."there is a lot more where that came from. Now we have the data to fine tune both power and aerodynamics. "Rad Rides by Troy will definitely be back on the salt!"

Congratulations go out to George Poteet plus the whole Rad Rides by Troy Team for a well deserved WORLD RECORD!!!!!!!!!

Awesome Car - i was able to watch it from start to finish. I probably have a few hundred pics of his cars in various stages.

My truck should be there in Oct/Nov for Paint - can't wait.
