Re: [Amc-list] bonneville salt flat rambler???

[Greg Taylor <amundaza@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jim Lange has the fastest Stude at Bonneville and there is another one very close second.  Both run over 200 MPH.  Jim's is a twin turbocharged Stude 304 in an Avanti.
   
  There is a possibility that Barney Navarro had really fast Ramblers at Bonneville, but I don't fully recall.  He might have had the Indy Rambler 196 turbo car there ... again, memory not too clear on that.
