The streamliner in picture #19 belongs to my best friend's brother. Charles Nearburg is his name and Rett was his son's name. Rett died of cancer on Jan. 14, 2005, he was 21 years old. Charles has raced his whole life. Go karts all the way to the Indy 500. He got the LSR bug a few years ago. Last October he broke the 40+ year old record set by the Goldenrod streamliner. That 'liner ran four 426ci Hemi engines and held the record at 409mph all those years. Charles busted it with a 414+mph average running one big ass motor on NOS. He said it's basically the same motor you'd find in a NHRA Pro Stock car.
He told me he was going back this year and was going to run a smaller displacement engine and try to break some other (some what slower) records. I'll be dove hunting with his brother on Sept. 1 so I guess I'll find out then how Charles did.
