after Hal Needham crashed the Motivator by his own stupidness he never drove again....all runs with the B R 1B was done at Bonneville by Stan Barrett, so as the runs with B R 2A and 2B at Edwards
Francis, your question about Fredrick....about the former butcher from Woodlands Hill (LA area)...he was always something strange and not very legal conform....
after several things not by law he end up in jail....after he was released from jail some years ago he directly desappeared from the public....nobody knows where he went and where he is now, if still alive....
thanks to Dick for the article about the Needham Fredrick final....
...
the fact is - at Edwards and Bonneville there were used different rocket cars and configuration.
at Bonneville the very first B R was more or less a clone of the damaged Motivator which was used by Kitty O'Neil and damaged by Hal Needham....
and it has the same engine version as the Motivator...this version was never shown on the video....just before they showed up at Bonneville they add the sidwinder solid rocket....
The Bonneville rocket car was damaged when he went off course....

Thomas: did Hal Needham do all the driving at Bonneville?
