Bob Brisette in the Quincy tank also held the record for the fastest speed at El Mirage for quite a few years at 227. In June of '62 Bob Funk was killed in the Quincy-Brisette tank when he got off course and hit a mound of pucker bushes at over 200.
You're a little busy driving to blow a horn at the top end. The reason John Peter's replaced the Chevys was because the Hemi's were going faster. John does have a real train horn that we blow when we are in a parade or are going to start the car in the pits.
I kinda figured you were a little busy to use a horn. That just goes to show you can't believe everything ya read on the Internet. Thank you for taking the time to answer some questions and tell some stories from the past. Dustin
