Save the date as Rad Rides by Troy will be featured in an hour long show on the Discovery Channel. SPEED CAPITOL OF THE WORLD: BONNEVILLE Will air on the Discovery channel: Tuesday, December 16th at 9:00 pm (central time) Check your local listings for the air time in your area. The show will feature footage of The Rad Rides by Troy Team at the shop preparing the "Blowfish" to head to Bonneville to set a new record on the salt in 2008. The Discovery channel also spent the week shooting actual race footage at the salt flats in Bonneville. Those that don't know the car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amr5hpg20Kg&feature=relatedand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K8OkjUeXps&feature=relatedSet your tivo's

If you have never seen this car in real life , there simply is no way to describe it fairly

I saw the car at the local GoodGuys show last year. A real nice piece of work.

I want to attend a meet at Benneville one day. It's on my "to do" list! On a somewhat related note, has anyone here seen "The World's Fastest Indian"? Very cool movie.

Having been a crew member on a record setting streamliner (car 448 - Nafzger and Savage) in the 1980s - going to Bonneville for one of the speed weeks (SCTA or USFRA) is well worth the experience. The 448 car - I/GS still holds the FIA record for the class. Its very laid back and the cars and crews are accessible, unlike NHRA national meets.
