Just finished talking with Terry Nish about the (finger crossed) upcoming land speed racing season.  He is as optimistic as he has ever been about
"the dream of 425 mph."  Terry is getting along in years and desperately wants to achieve this mark before old man time catches up with him.
He also talks about George Poteet's roadster, a sprint car project long over due and about the future of the #998 Royal Purple Streamliner!

For those who've not seen the Bonneville the last couple of years, there's some beautiful shots of the 'salt' that will bring back sweet memories!!!

Enjoy!!!

Looking forward to some fast runs on the salt. Good luck Terry and crew.

Great video, thanks for sharing your confessions, problems and plans.  If it was easy we all could do it  :-o
I'm sure there is a 425++ in there if we get some salt.
Wish us all some luck  :cheers:

Incredible save on that one run and his stockpile of engines too. It really is impressive that he gets that far out of shape then gets back into it. Id be looking for a place to change my underware
