Lizard Racing Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 I just saw on MSN (to show how far behind I am) that Danny Thompson (son of Mickey) set a class record speed of 406.7 mph in the Challenger 2. This eclipses the one-way fastest run Mickey did in 1960 of 406.6 in Challenger 1. This is quite an achievement, considering the car is almost 50 years old! Congrats Danny!Would there be enough interest for someone to make a kit? ..
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 It IS quite an achievement, though very little of the car is exactly as it was when it was built, and it's been re-engined as well as substantially re-engineered.I'm pretty sure Danny's plans are to continue to pursue the absolute wheel-driven land speed record.
Greg Myers Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Why do we continue to forget the Summers Brothers Golden Rod legit record, both ways, 409.277 MPH ?
1930fordpickup Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Why do we continue to forget the Summers Brothers Golden Rod legit record, both ways, 409.277 MPH ? Different class records Greg. I do not think that anyone is forgetting their record.
