Salt Flats Bonneville Speed Week Utah 2016: The Last Peaceful Place on Earth
Lou Madsen and I were out there that year to give moral support to Bob Dally, the guy with the 66 Barracuda.
He threw a connecting rod out the side of the 170 slant.
Not at the crank, but at the wrist pin on his first or second run.
I have never seen the little end break like that on a slant.
Bob was listening to some Bonneville Svengali on speed secrets and it went south in a big way.
As far as I know he has never been back since and the car has been sold.
Bucket list place for any gear head, glad I went.
