No really, it was. The driver said that at 140 mph, the Demon's "door jiggled loose and blew off and, at the end of the run, the engine compartment was on fire." Top speed: 145.607 mph. Its record, set on August 19, 1985, still stands.    Comments Showing page: 1 of 1 [ 1 ] #1 8-20-2010 @ 07:08:29 PM Posted By : DiRF  Reply | Edit | Del Not a very competitive record, huh?

Ask the people in Crush, Texas all about that one! #5 8-20-2010 @ 10:58:06 PM Posted By : DiRF  Reply | Edit | Del #4, Wow, that was an interesting Wikipedia article to read... the guy had good intentions to entertain people, but, damn, that was not thought out properly. #6 8-20-2010 @ 11:40:53 PM Posted By : Skid Reply | Edit | Del #5, It's a shame there was no movie footage shot of it, though some of the photographs are pretty amazing: http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-...t-of-impact.jpg Showing page: 1 of 1 [ 1 ] Login to leave a comment	Classifieds  Click here to post your own classified ad
