BOMBSHELL BETTY XO /GCC Bonneville record

Nice work Jeff, by buddy and I had a chance to talk with you, and your right hand man in line for showers at the truck stop, Cool car and even cooler dudes! Is there an online store I can buy a shirt? That dirty bitch called beer had funneled all my money away before I could get one of yours!

 

Congats! Thats about the toughest Buick I've seen!

 

Bloody hell dude

 

Thanks guys and girls.
STAY TUNED though... she has some more to give.

dubcee and all you cool cats that wanted our killer "in house" designed support shirts, we proudly sold out all 3 designs! (thanks to those who got in)
My printer is on it. I'll post some up on the classifieds when they get done.

THANKS again for the nods!!!

Amazing!

You guys are very close to Mel Tulls 21 year old record with his straight 8 Buick, but he did it in the street roadster class not in a brick.

Very cool.

Put me down for a shirt too.

 

Looks like the car was a little excited to see her!

Congrats man! That car looks so damn cool, and knowing it can preform just aswell as it looks makes it badass. Keep up the good work!

 

What a great job!! So cool

 

congrtates brother, how do i get a poster of that car?

 

That car is so impressive looking - it reminds me of an early GE diesel train loco with the cow-catcher in place of the grille.
The dagmars look like they are breakin' wind for you too - performance enhancing acoutrements - it's got it all!!!!
Put me down for a XXXL shirt - or two!
BTW, congrats on the awesome effort blitzing the record too.

 

I have some Killer, limited edition, Max Grundy prints still available.
60.00 shipped

Printing some cool, new design support shirts, now.

Thanks

Jeff Brock

* I'll find that Max image and post it up.

 

I take an XL Tshirt when the new design cones out. Bob

 

cool 37 kid. I'll give all you guys a shout when I get them.

* i put Lizzy in a small... haven't seen the pics yet.

 

Every time i see a pic of your killer '52 Buick i think it looks like it should have been in the Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome movie!
'52 Buick's just are'nt suppose go that fast so that makes it even cooler!
Well done & congratulations!!

 

XO / GCC record 162.48 2 way measured mile average...
with a 1950 Buick straight 8 !

* apparently the skirt catcher is working.

 

What's the deal with turning the front wheels- not much movement needed for LSR?

 

good question: She has a 68 Chevy van dropped axle, narrowed 12+"
and no, you don't need a lot of steering out there. Just enough to get to and from (and off) the course. It is tightest in the pits, but has never caused me great trouble.

 

some shots from my lens.

 

Thanks.

Is the front track narrower than original?

 

Here is a pre-skirt/air dam pic from 2010 Speedweek that shows where the wheels sit.

 

I can't believe i missed this thread. Ever since i saw the first picture of this car i can't stop thinking about it. It is just total kick ass from every angle. Congrats on the record. I love it.

THAT'S... a great note to end the night on!
Thanks Gasser Girl!
Here's lookin at ya:

 

Killer shots Buick59 !!!
Thanks for a great eye!

 

If you guys haven't yet, you need to print and frame the picture of you and the car. It looks great!

 

Are there any YouTube or other videos of the car running ? That would be very cool.

Don

 

There are a couple on facebook that people took.
There was a youtube video called "The Third Mile" that Gunther Maier shot.

take a look, I will also and see if we can repost here.

 

Hope you can post stuff here, otherwise I'll have to get my kid to explain how Facebook works. Bob

 

Are there 11 other photos from this photo session? I need a 2013 calendar. Bob
