HOT ROD Camaro Backing Up a Bonneville Record on Two Cylinders

At Speed Week 2011, the HOT ROD/So-Al Racing team killed a few pistons on the very first run when the blown big-block swallowed a carb vent tube. We gave up on running 250-plus mph and re-entered a small-displacement class, F/CBFALT. We got the engine to run on two cylinders and set a record at 32 mph. This is the backup pass. Watch as the the push truck shoves off too slow. Freiburger downshifts to try and keep it running, then Turk realizes what's happening and shoves harder before turning off at the 1-mile and sending the two-banger Camaro down the track.

How bout that second push effort?.... LOL man I could hear we didn't quite have enough RPM for the Carb to keep up...... So we stabbed it and rubbed on him again.... FUN stuff

Great video making lemonade from lemons and all that. I was wondering is there a class at bonneville for street cars. I will likely never have the cash for a dedicated race car but would love to run down the salt

Would love to go for a ride in the push truck, shouldn't I be allowed to for being subscribed to hot rod for so long

I think the Push Truck is outrunning the Camaro.
