There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Mech-

I think that truck has hit the board before or I saw a feature somewhere. The team started out in their family farm (see hood) and now they make lots of speed at Bonneville! Rocket!

The mere thought of going fast in my truck gives me clammy hands. Man, that would be a scary ride. I envision a crash similar to the earlier two wheeled speed attempts when the bikes started their wobble.

Is there a story or article that goes with that picture? I traced the link back to the inliners site and I guess that picture is in the members only section. I would like to know more about that Chevy. I guessed it has a 302 GMC...wonder how fast it goes? what other mods to the truck? suspension, etc.? I like the retro/rat/rust-rod look. wink

The flooring you can buy in pieces. It fits together. I have seen it in racing catalogs.

Did anyone notice the broom?

This flyin' Stovebolt is owned by Inliner Mark Miller of Hayley, Idaho and ran over 140 mph this year. Mark now holds records in 3 classes. The truck initially ran with a heavily modified 261 at over 125, and is now powered by a 320" 12 Port Wayne/Arias GMC. A full feature article on Mark and his truck is planned for a future issue of the "12 Port News".

Thanks for the link and more info. I wonder if the vent windows chatter at over 100 MPH! Those guys are almost local for me.

Brian-- the chain is a high-end security device, ensuring no one steals anything while it's parked at Wal-Mart! wink :p

I got my February 2004 HOT ROD magazine a couple of weeks ago and there on page 70 is a picture of the MRJ Racing pickup. So Cool!! I'm trying to imagine going that fast in my 50 (if I ever get it going...) eek

Do you think those hub caps do any good at all considering the beautiful bull-nose of an AD?

I had the good fortune to see that truck run on the salt last year: http://www.chevyasylum.com/bsf2003/wf/031018/031018-2.html

It has an absolutely great soundin motor. I'm hopin the long tube headers and Purple Hornie mufflers on my 292 will help emulate that sound a bit.

The hub caps (moon discs) may not be all that effective as streamining, but they help prevent salt from building up in the wheels and causing balance problems. I'm gonna try running with and without them next year in my 85 Monte Carlo with AFR head 406. It'll be my first time racing on the salt...but ya gotta start somewhere.

ChevyAsylum- What kinda of Purple Hornie mufflers are you planning on running? The glasspacks with the header collector and turndowns, or... Just curious as to how it would sound, since I've thought about bolting the ones I mentioned up. Thanks. John
