Political correctness is a spineless character flaw that emboldens the enemies of freedom, tolerance and peace.

This ain't your mothers cookie cutter motor sport like NASCAR or NHRA.. +10

I don't know, other than I posted a photo of his car (8797) earlier.  Gary Miller is listed as co-owner.

Any pics of the othe side of the RZ 350, wondered what the blower looked like.
Bonneville 2001,2002,2003,2004,and NO stinking 2005,DLRA 2006, next?
Well,sure can't complain about 2008--6 records over 200 and 5 hats from Bonneville,Bubs, and El Mirage for the team!

Here are some speed shots done a little earlier...I've been runnin back and forth between the camera and the computer and it's takin longer than...well, it's just takin longer.

A few more speed shots.

While I didn't get a shot of it, Speed Demon has been rebuilt after the fire and made a run attempt...but it shot at ducks for a mile,  then turned out.

Not the best pic of the blower, since I was focused on the tailpipe, but better than noithing

He raced a Studebaker for years at the salt from southern Missouri & a VERY nice guy.

Fast Freddie on a test run, best mph was in the 230's on a short pass.  Seems the rookie announcer doesn't know who Fred is and was quick to report speed.  Didn't get all of the mile info. :cheers:

I wondered too.

Did you see that Randy upped your Buick record?

Norris broke the rearend in his Studebaker truck.

It is tough being here at home during Speedweek.

Even on vacation in Guatemala, I can still listen to Freddy- aka "The Lüg"- skate 'er on down at 230+. Technology is pretty sweet.

Good thing I'm not listening to the announcers...I'm on the officials' FM.  Here are some shots of Freddy's run.
