Mickey Thompson did this on a low budget low tech program in 1960. Open trailer towed and car pushed by a Pontiac wagon. How sad the demise of Mr &Mrs Thompson. And later the demise of Pontiac.
IRON MAN. His son Danny is carrying on Mickey's legacy. Think everybody who runs on the salt has a little Mickey Thompson in their blood and in their hearts. GOD BLESS every driver who puts it all on the line on every run. And to the crews who help make it possible, and to the families, wives, girlfriends who back the dreams of all who race.
I have actually built this very Revell model kit and super detailed every engine in the And did all of plumbing on it added every cable then built a salt flat base for it.
yep and this is where the motor industry was born and speed was born, now think of how much it cost to try and break the piston engine 4 wheel sound barrier, now till that is done, we can say that that record is open to anyone, which most people in the game can do with a jet engine, but its about piston engines and wheels on the ground turning and not jet engines?
Most tyre patents owned by micky, now think of why he really went into the speed demon thing, its not because he wanted to break records, but more to start a bigness after that like everyone else did after they broke records back then almost every single person in the states who holds a record have aftermarket bigness ?
did he say electronic industry, at the 14:22 mark, WOW now that is a prediction, get into computers in the 1960's and learn the FORTRAN and other numbered programming format's and you will be a millionaire before you know it. :)
