Dave Sarna is a racing enthusiast. It doesn’t matter whether he’s moving fast or slow, whether he’s flying, driving, sailing or going fast on frozen water. In 2013, he dragged this Racing Junk contributor to the Bonneville Salt Flats to try to break 200 mph with a college-backed student racing team and a big-block Pontiac Firebird.
Dave broke the car, but four years later he got into the 200 MPH Club. A week later, he drove my 2017 Oakland across the 406-mile Wisconsin section of the Yellowstone Trail to raise $8,500 for a camp for blind kids. The Oakland’s top speed was about 40 mph and Dave said that it was scarier driving it than the Bonneville racer.

I had to look up Oakland to see what it was. Pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll stick to the paved 1/4 mile. :)
