Bob Dalton is a bad ass. Not only because he brought a Bill E Badass streamliner to Bonneville this year, but because he and a kick ass group of racers and hot rodders built the entire thing themselves. Unfortunately Bob wasn’t able to set his record over 400 mph this year because the salt conditions just weren’t there, and the rear wing on the car was providing too much downforce, but on this run you’ll see that Bob is one driving mad man. I’m fairly certain that, like Top Fuel Motorcycle riders, he carries his testicles around in a wheelbarrow in front of him and that they are made of stainless steel. No normal person drives a car like this. With that said, I’d strap my ass into it in a heartbeat.
This particular run at Bonneville was without the rear wing because the extreme downforce was loading the rear and causing tire rub, which is bad at over 400 mph.
Here is what Bob wrote to us when he sent us the link for the video.

LEAVE ANY ‘MUSIC’ OFF CAR VIDEOS. Narrate the GD thing, if you must. No Music.
