A truly amazing feat for a 69 Camaro. Overcoming aerodynamics with massive power. Wow.

You're welcome! It was really cool being there. Nothing like hearing Big Red blast by at 200+ mph!

Great coverage Tony.

Big Red just never disappoints. Beyond iconic.

Default Big Red
Tony,
thanks for the pics..
I saw Big Red at the Silver State when they
first brought it back.. at that time they were
hitting something like 187 in the standing mile
on some country road

I asked the kid where he was.. he laughed and
said he had college, then law school and finally
done

Bob

Default Big Red
Just received an email from the Silver State folks
Discovery is going to be filming the Silver State Challenge
May 14-17th for their show Megaspeed so if you are running
then another opportunity to be on TV

I would assume Big Red will be there

Bob
