Speedweek pre-entries have been posted by the SCTA. I've posted a pdf copy here as well.
I noticed that the 285 car that burned at SW in 2024 has entered. Nice to see the McAllister's back!

Thanks Mark.

I see a Liner I have been waiting to see for years is listed.

Doug Herbert, AA/BFS Car number 888, Named The Beast. I wish Doug all the Best at Bonneville.
I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

I wonder if it's the monster that ran 25 years ago, or one that Doug built more recently?

aircap,

I don't think so, but I don't know. His Dad Chet called his vehicles the Beast as I recall. So I like that Doug's car name is the same as his Dad's vehicles. JMO. Reason I say vehicles is Chet ran a motorcycle and cars with the same name with which number Beast they were.

Hopefully we will find out soon!

There's an article about it in the latest edition of the SCTA Racing News.

Thanks Mark, I have not seen that issue. So is Doug going to run the new car? Or?

Thanks for any information.
