Hey Folks ,

Just returned from Bonneville Land Speed World Finals

Broke the XO/GCC class record by 4mph .
Top speed 136 plus .
Not bad for a gas carb 320 in a 1952 Super

GGGGGG "BLIND AMBITION" thats a good moniker for your car. Truly in the spirit of Bonneville. Thats a cool ride, and I bet you had a lotta lookers with it! Racing straight 8 Buicks at Bonneville has been an old tradition. In the old days the guys would often tow thier racers up to the lakes in Ca. with a Buick str8. I think you did a great job on your car and turned a really respectable speed too.
