The Winged Express may be the most famous drag car of all times. I know that is a big statement, but it just might be true. And here at BangShift.com we have been lucky enough to get what is arguably some of the coolest footage of the Wing racing EVER! If you missed our video of it passing the Bradford’s Fuel Altered at the California Hot Rod Reunion then you missed a lot, but now we’ve got even more. Thanks to Cowboy, “Big” Mike, “St. Louis” Mike, and of course Mousie who support us big time here at BangShift.com we’ve got exclusive in-car and on-car footage of the Winged Express that we shot at the Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green last weekend.
These guys are great, the car is great, and we know that “Wild Willie” Borsch is real proud of the fact that they just keep racing this car. The crowd worships this thing at each and every event. Cowboy hauls this thing all over the damn place, “St. Louis” Mike has been working on the car at EVERY event since 2004, and “Big” Mike Boyd has the enviable pleasure of wheeling this evil bastard all over the country. We are jealous.
Enough of my yacking. Watch. We even included the passing video below the in-car just so you can enjoy it again.
ONE LAST THING: Would you drive it? I say…hell yeah. Sign me up, my medical is current. Let’s get it on.
I wonder if Mike keeps both hands on the wheel out of respect for Willie?
AWESOME!! What is fascinating to me is how Mike drives using the spokes of the wheel instead of the o.d.. Rather unique driving style, I would think. But he does a wonderful job every lap he makes.
I would drive it nude without a harness
While my first thought should have been “eeeeewwwwwwwwww” followed by throwing up a little in my mouth…instead I gave the little nod thing along with a look of agreement.
We are sick sick bastards
Dude is a throttlemen. I like all the lever action he is working
awesome. so nonchalant on that wheel like he is driving to church.
Mike Boyd and “THE WING” are the best! Have known Mike for a while, and he is one of the best drivers around, and Mike is a gentleman. My son and him worked out at the gym together, and thats how we got to know him, and watching him run at Famoso in Bakersfield, is routine for us. With Mike’s medical situations, that according to him, have basically gone away (THANK GOD!!!!!), he just continues to amaze me and impress men. Mike is a “BIG” man amongst men, and I am proud to say he is a “FRIEND”.
