"Pap posted in this forum by mistake he did re post it in the Russ Wicks thread"
Are you his caretaker? He can't post that bit of info himself? I already figured that part out.
I watched your precious race by your personal Gods last night. Over an hours delay because the baby Gods couldn't put 3 laps together without hitting each other. Carburators and pushrods, speeds less than 190MPH, less than 10 laps between yellow flags. The best of technology, I'm impressed - count me among the converted, and an ignore button pusher.

DW I think you guys need to settle down here, As you look at your post it was directed at me asking why it was posted here. I told you why "END OF STORY" now can we get back to Old Bonneville Photos? |

Let's just hit the "ignore" buttons on these two guys and go back to the original subject. This was one of the truly great threads until it got contaminated. If you get really curious about something you can always push "unignore" and then go back to "ignore" again after your curiosity has been satisfied.
Let's resurrect "Old Bonneville Pictures" and forget the detour this subject has taken.

Regarding the Christman coupe Dan was correct on it being turned into a movie car by Geo Barris. That was 1961 and used on the Dobie Gillis show. It was later restored to the original Bronze beauty by Christman and inducted into the Dry Lakes Hall of fame in 2008. The bronze pictures were taken by Freud at the Gas UP.

Any one have any mechanical photos of the coupe ... engine / chassis / suspension ? ... I have a rugged 31 coupe body that is begging to be a project ... Joe

Rear engine coupes are no longer allowed. You might research hot rod magazine archives in the 50s on the HRM web site.

55chevr,
Google Old Crow Speed Shop. Lucky Burton over there is building a street coupe that appears to be a dead on copy of the Chrisman coupe.

Here's a few more, the Bug Eye set the record in 79, sponsored by the Army Reserve, they came back in 80 with it looking better, and lost the record to Ben Jordan's Abarth Zagato by about 22 MPH.  Anybody remember who put the Bug Eye together? I'd love to talk to them, if they're still around. |

In the background behind the Peek Bros is the 76, Sadd, Teague and Bentley.
In 1972 they set the fuel record at 250.805.
That's a rush.
