Yep, same ones.

Joe Law lakester is not there and the red Firebird is missing. The turbine powered car has not run yet, don't know exactly which World record it holds.

ECTA rent a ride cars, the liner was being built to go after the Turbinator record. At one time they were interested in teaming up with Vesco.

Quote from truck ad

"we can go out right now and get in the 2oo mph club but I have saved it for you to do,Just buy it turn key and go to Bonneville and come home in the 200 mph club its that EZ"

well ain't that a kick in the pants. It took me 17 years and a truck load of money and all I needed to do was spend 13K on a truck. don't I feel like the idiot
Records or parts, I didn't come all this way not to break something.

I'm like you Dallas. Why did I try for 41 years to get a red hat. Should have waited for this guy.

I'll sell anyone a Red Hat for $1000, if you just gotta own one.  You just can't wear it.  Put it in your trophy case with a note inside stating who won it.

Also got some 40-year-old bowling trophies -- how do you spell your name?

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

The Firebird would be illegal by  SCTA rules.  The'91 nose with earlier side skirts is a no no. Tony

Man you guys are a tough audience. I am going to make sure I use spel chek. :) 
I drove the red truck at Maxton in 2010 it drives good and straight. It went 177 with a C motor and a single carburetor for the ECTA record in 2010. That's a long way from 200 and a "hat." Kix blew that record out of the water this year. At 5.7" 180 Lbs I was a tight fit. Not for a tall person. The price on the truck seems fair.
