New World Speed Record Set!
Well, I have the pleasure to work with a guy some of you might have heard about and some of you might not have. His name is William (Bill) Grimes. He holds a couple of land speed records for the truck class. If you want to go fast he is a guy to talk to. He just set another record, although he’s not very happy with it. He felt it should have been faster but they hurt the engine. Any ways here are some pictures of the guy and the truck along with the slip. Bill is the guy in the cap.

Re: New World Speed Record Set!
I don't have too much info right now. He's ran this truck in a couple different classes. Right now this is the info he gave me.
We currently hold four records in four different classes. This was a 365 cu. in. small block Chevy motor, iron block with 18 degree heads, normally aspirated. Right now he's playing catchup with work.
