Was This Really Necessary?
« on: April 10, 2020, 03:11:20 AM »
Okay, who is the SAAC member that provided his car for this event?  There is a SAAC sticker on the driver front quarter window:

And the Shelby VIN?

I guess if the combine does not have the brakes to slow down by the end of the track, he plows to a stop!🤣

At Motor City Dragway, you would have to change the head to harvest the corn field at the end of the track. :D

Actually,  I would like to know more about the Shelby (this is a Shelby focused site, after all) and the story behind why it was picked as the competition.  There has got to a good bar bet story here. 8)

Not sure, but I would think that the owner of the Shelby is also the new owner of the combine.

That’s embarrassing.
That 68 needs a few mods and it looks like he was sleeping on the light...

  I could give him a ten second head start and still beat him with my '66.
