Looks to have ZR-1 hood emblems and correct offset A-mold wheels. Engine sounds like open headers, no turbo whine noise. Lingenfelter rear body work.

Had a switch and bypass valves, that run was with them open, long funny story as to how that happened.

That's a crazy piece of footage. I'd forgotten about that '98 test in R&T.

That track at Ft. Stockton was treacherous eight years before on the Record Run. To think that someone would go 218 on a track having banked turns with no guardrails, is freakin' amazing.

Ole Lingey's balls were so big he had to roll them around in a freakin' wheelbarrow.

As for this...It is a story best told at the uplaza.

...Ok, Behan, you're on. If I make it to the NCM C4 event next year for the Record Run's 30th, I'll buy and you freakin' tell all, sucker.

Paul Smith showed a video of that event at one of our TX BBQs about 8 years ago. We ran and re-ran the part where a Viper caught on fire on the other side of the track and they tried to put the fire out by throwing sand on it. Memories that can't be un-seen.

So he's the guy with balls so big he rolls them around in a wheelbarrow.

I stand corrected!

What with the Ford v Ferrari movie coming out, it would be great to see one done of Andretti’s life.

It’s just a matter of time. The early years back in the 50s with his brother Marco have to be put to film. And the best thing to happen to that Viper was the flames.
