    Well, we just got home from Bonneville. The little Banger did all we could ask. We were able to get two records, one in the fuel class at 127 mph and one in the gas class at 126 mph. We are so happy after trying for five years. Thank you -ALL- for your support, and thanks to our team for all of their time and hard work. We will post some pictures a little later.--TV

    I was with the Kowalski belly tank next to you guys in impound. Congratulations on a successful year. We backed up the fuel record just over 120 on a previous 106 record. The flathead in the roadster got hurt when the nitro went up to 30%. It ran two consecutive 166mph passes on 25%. Next year with a stroked crank I think it'll pass up that 173 record.

    Once again congratulations!
     
  28. Congraulations! Beautiful car.
