Think Craig Breedlove --> Steve Fossett --> Bill Marquardt

Spirit of America --> American Avenger?

Rumoured to be trying to run somewhere in the US later this year . . . .

Can anyone put us in contact with him?

Target 500 could probably benefit from his illusions.

That's what I hear too!  And the 444 car will have some updates and improvements.  One in particular is TOP SECRET!  <evil maniacal laughter>

Nope, Dave Spangler is driving it. The 444 car has a crew member driving, his name is Ricco. :cheers:

No intention to hijack thread..

I was unaware of this effort until seeing the post a few back...

any significant mods after the Fossett updates?

Zanefield had a bunch of records at Maxton but we took almost all of them in one weekend...... some while licensing up.  At one point one of his rental drivers even looked our truck over then proceeded to tell us how the one he was driving was a genuine 200mph truck in the mile. He didn't even crack 170mph with a blown D motor.  Aaaand his truck has some illegal features....  but who cares, it's slow.

  I don't get how he can spew this nonsense....  He must really believe himself...

 I was briefly involved with another guy who was buddies with Zanefield, who also has rented rides. At the time I didn't know that was his intention and after finding out from someone on here that this guy was known and not liked, I bailed on the project. This guy was all upset when I told him too, he said "Hollywood" would be very upset.....   :-D

If you lose the drive shaft or rear end, you lose the brakes too.

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

I would imagine the brake is just for idle/staging right?
