    Jimmy Stevens' Turbocharged flathead powered Jack Costella's Streamliner to 238 mph at El Mirage today (June 13) to reset their XF/BFS record, as always Rick Yacoucci adeptly handled the controls. The alcohol fuelled Costella, Yacoucci, Pappas & Stevens Streamliner was first out on the dirt and Kicked the day off with a bang!

    Hey Grant, They made the first pass of the meet. That was all they needed, the motor seems to be fine. They will be back at El Mirage next month for one final tune-up prior to Speedweek.
