Major thanks to Tim Lenahan and his 800mm lens for snapping these photos of Blowfish spinning at Bonneville last week. When Tim asked if we wanted them we of course said yes, and are now sharing them with you because we are cool like that. Blowfish, which is usually a super stable car, was captain of the spin squad at Bonneville Speed Week this year and spun everywhere from the starting line to the 5 mile at one point or another, according to witnesses. Rumors were flying that the car was wrecked after spinning off the push truck, and other reports said it spun and flipped at the 3 mile mark. None of those things were true apparently, but close calls were aplenty. We’ve got 18 shots of the trunk lid launching spin, and we’re putting a couple here in the blog item and all of them in a mini gallery.
Big thanks again to Tim Lenahan for getting us these great shots. We appreciate it. If you want to contribute to all our debauchery here at BangShift.com remember that you can submit stuff too! Send us a note via the submit your content tab and we’ll contact you with directions.
At this point the car should be traveling from right to left in this photo. It is…but the front end isn't pointing in the right direction.
That thing in the air is the trunk lid. I'm real sure the paint wasn't as nice on it after it landed as it is here in this photo, which probably isn't as good as it was before it left the car.
