George Poteet's Blowfish Sets 291-MPH Record at World of Speed 2009By Brian Lohnes Posted 09/19/09

George Poteet, in the Blowfish Plymouth Barracuda built by Rad Rides by Troy a few years ago, finally set a big record at last week's World of Speed at Bonneville, an event by the Utah Slat Flats Racers Association. The record is 291.841, but George's web site is reporting a top speed of 303 mph!

This is another big accomplishment for the same guy who BangShift Chad blogged about at Bonneville in August when George Poteet and Ron Main set the top time of the week in the Speed Demon streamliner.

See the Hot Rod magazine feature story on Blowfish here.

*whistle*  If it weren't for getting the Skylark on the road and the Silver State I'd be there at Bonneville.
