Last fall we bought some vintage vehicles from Conrad Halburg. One was a historic belly tank racer that had a timing tag on the fire wall. It stated that the team of Hugh Drury, Fowler, Red Holmes and Jerry Kugel went 203 mph in 1964 at Bonneville. Tom Pease took the rusty chassis and the skin of the tank and cleaned it up, matched the paint and put it back together, just the way it was in 1964. He got a junkyard 260 Ford for it . Frank Walka freshened up the Halibrand quick change. All we're missing is the injectors for the 260.
After 3 passes at Loring Timing Association, we hit 137.605 with the car just the way it ran in 1964. It's an awesome feeling!
