Its George Poteet's car.  Camel Toe Racing, he also has a roadster and runs the liner with Ron Main.  Almost forgot the Cuda.

The "C" should tell you it has less than 372 cu in. With good luck and a copy of 2007 results you will note it ran 204.195. The SCTA website would have told your the current record is 215+...............Good Luck...................

that camel looks faster than the starliner!

and i know my camels: i announced the international camel races in virginia city for many years.

that would make me a professional in the world of camel racing!

i'm about to leave for daytona to tell jack roush how to run a little faster, make those goodyears last a little longer and get a few extra laps out of a tank of gas!

those nas-car guys won't know what hit them when i get there with my advanced technology!

My main follower you seam to like following like a puppy dog read it




From Herbert thread

This is why I don't post info through the Stock Car/ LSR technology program the names and resources wish not to be posted. Why? in every forum not just this Landracing one but others you have the one's set out to do nothing more than make trouble remarks due to there lack of understanding and there self control factor. Its a big shame so much can be learned from a differaint engineering and technology stand point. As you notice each thread starts out good than the regular miss fit group comes in first post is negative flammed to start a war for self satisfaction. All in all some of you need to learn respect for ones thread and info he or she wishes to post "Adult self control over your emotions" think first before

I don't think there's a class for former IMSA cars.

T-bird,

I for one enjoy your posts and a little of the history even if it's cut and pasted.

Your post seem to attract many different forms of critisism from the peanut gallery and various internet Trolls.

Often you must consider the source of the critiqing.

Your biggest critic looks to be 1212.

I did a little looking on the scta web site and.....

1212 appears to hold one record at bonneville which is 279mph in f/bgs. Very impressive...until you look below and see a smaller engined liner record that is 352mph :roll:

1212's might be remembered in history  as the rider of the  :-o"Worlds Fastest Vibrator" :-o the 125mph electric cycle!

I'm new here and i enjoy reading about some of the history but it seems as though many are allergic to change or new ideas. speeds will plateau and the thinkers will be ridiculed so much for innovation and thinking outside of the box!

Flame on !!!
Future lakester racer!
