Motion Pictures The First American to 400 MPH: Mickey Thompson | MotorTrend

Hey Hambers,

I just ran across this youtube video MotorTrend made. It's has some images I've never seen before of Challenger I. Give it a look here:

 

I was lucky enough to be a young rodder 'want to be' at that time and read the magazine coverage. Too bad MT died young while his dreams still had a bright future.
Great video. So much better than Roadkill.

Pretty cool! I can't imagine how big his sack must of been to sit like that and drive at 400 mph back then! Very impressive!

 

Just picked this from another thread
