I remember seeing this car at Bonneville in 2010 at World Of Speed Week. Impressive.

I've got a few pictures of him from a few years ago at Speed Week. It's a really well put together car.

Does it have Studebaker running gear? If not then it's only a 1941 Studebaker body going 201 miles an hour. I think that can be done by dropping one out of an airplane.

Actually, terminal velocity for a car like that with all the surface resistance would only be about 120 to 140 mph. Now, add a jet engine? Now we're talk'in.

Wow. They made it. These are some of my old car friends in Omaha. SOB. South Omaha Boys.

Before the video loaded, I read the title "1941 Studebaker hits 201 mph", and considering this is our local news, the first thing that popped in my head was "Gee, "41 Frank" must have been in a hurry to get to Branson this weekend!" <g> <g> <g>

Very funny Jim, but no t'was not me, I wish I could go that fast. I only race a quarter of a mile at a time and get up to only about 100mph. I do know that race team though. That is quite a feat to hit 201 mph with a car considered a slug for speed runs. There are very few Studebaker parts on that vehicle and it runs a highly modified small block Chevy.
