Codi Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I had to share this. Just made the record on Wed, August 12th. If the link doesn't work, just to go bangshift.com and see the article & lots of pics there. https://bangshift.com/bangshift1320/speed-demon-continues-to-dominate-the-headlines-and-bonneville-record-books/ THANK YOU TJ for the tip too...............

JollySipper Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 You can get this link to work, you just have to edit the post. I have to do it every time I post a link...... Just open to edit, click after the link putting the cursor after it, then hit "enter"..... It won't move the link, but it will turn it blue, making it work..... Hope this helps...

misterNNL Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 This car screams to be built in scale even as a curbside version. With these photos and knowing the overall length of it a scale model of it is possible by photocopy enlargement to use as a starting point. I have tried to find the dimensions on-line with no luck. Does anyone have that info ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 The village we live in is one mile wide. At his 481 MPH record speed it would take him .07 seconds to drive through town or about as long as our only traffic light stays yellow. Yes I would set out my lawn chair downtown to witness that event. I would probably blink and miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman Cars Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 That car was build about one mile from my shop. they still do all the work on the car there. i was thinking of going over and getting some better photos of it when they get back from the salt flats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/24DragAndStreetCars Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Here's a picture of the engine at PRI in 2019. Quite a bad car. I got to take a close look at the horsepower behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codi Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 It's been 1 year since I put this up......bangshift.com has pics galore of this years Bonneville time trials. The Speed Demon won overall top speed again. More great pics that bangshift has to offer over the last week if your curious. They post an update of pics almost daily and have since early last week. A few pics the Demon. cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 That is so kewl. I'd like to go one day and watch some of these runs. At 481 mph I just don't think I want my ass strapped to anything on wheels going that fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
