I posted these two pics in tha truck forum, but I can't find that thread...sooooo, here yall are...

tha 1st pic is a 1/43 (For Sale) model done by Ugo Fadini - 225 Euros...

tha 2nd pic is from 1996 when this truck set tha LSR of 221 point sumthing in tha Semi-diesel class at tha Bonneville Speed trials.

they went back in 1997 and were setting a new LSR of 237 mph when tha truck caught fire.....musta been a pretty exciting ride for that hotshoe pilot, eh? Called tha Phoenix....

There is a website for this truck, do a Google search for it.

I saw Phoenix at B'ville when I went there in '90 and '91 before the all-enveloping bodywork and aircraft tires. It was quite a site to see the plume of black smoke rapidly approaching the 2 mile mark where spectaters could watch. It was impressive to see in the pits too! Each turbo(4, count em, 4) was the size of a tuner car motor! There was a newer Kenworth there too. The humourous part was the motorcycle battery on the firewall! They both used 1-ton 4X4s to push start them. Bonneville was the most fantastic motorsports experience I ever went to. The atmosphere was great, everyone was friendly and indviduality was rampant and encouraged! The cars are awesome too. From 12-culinder quad-turbo Semis to Rotax 440 powered streamliners. Both go 200! I saw Al Teague run 395. I still dream of going back.
