2016 The Road Ahead (Nish Motorsports)
« on: March 18, 2016, 08:37:44 PM »
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!!!

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:
