The boys and girls at Bonneville have stepped on it to start the meat of Speed Week. The Poteet and Main Speed Demon is current top speed holder with a 408mph trip down Broadway. The other highly notable record to fall was the AA/Production mark. It has stood for 16 years and was felled by the Charger Daytona of Texan Lee “The Bartender” Sicillio by 10 mph.
In Chad’s gallery you’ll see the wonderful mechanical diversity of Bonneville. Old motors in new cars and new motors in old iron. the combinations are numerous, occasionally hilarious, and all inspire the typical gearhead to think harder and go faster.
Long story short, this stuff rules and so does this gallery!
And make sure you check out the video of Lee “The Bartender’s” Dodge Charger Daytona running 230s below.
ALSO, here’s an in-car and in-push-truck video of Lee Sicillio running his 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona to 232 mph!
