Over 200 mph at Salt Flats
On downwind run to set high speed at just 220 mph. Spun car once at 210 mph when tire failed during one run. Changed tire and underwear, then continued with runs. Eventually set C Production land speed record of 217.849 mph.

still from '2Fast 2Real for Hollywood' movie
This was for a film intended to poke fun at those 'fast & furious' movies none of us were supposed to actually 'race' we did anyway....I lost. 1 1/2 car length to a 10 sec. race car w/nitrous&slicks ain't bad- is it, considering I had street tires and spun badly.

Taken at Texas Motor Speedway two laps before I spun a bearing and increased my winter maintenance budget.

LeMans rod junked resulting from spun bearing
Over 100 gm out-of-balance,beat-out rear main bearing and low oil pressure to rod journal equals spun rod bearing and damaged LeMans connecting rod.

snakewench's new toy!
Update: This car went to Snake Heaven in March of 2013. Yep, I spun-out on a flat curve and smacked a tree, crunched the frame (see pic in Aunt Bea's album)
