Heard the name before, we travel different circles, never met him in person. I went to Bonneville only once, 1998 for their 50th. That’s actually when I first got into fhs after seeing/hearing them run on salt.
I have friend here, DW who may know Buddy and like him is regular at salt flats each August. DW ran lakester with straight 8 Buick forever. I think he been attending 40+ years now. DW hasn’t run past 3 years due to technical issue. His straight 8 gone a little past 180. He has gone just over 200, “YEP” about 7 years ago when he swapped in fh (ardun). He borrowed running fh from nice ole guy in Ocala, who has dragster museum there. I think your friend’s cad flathead is broaching 200 mark…. or maybe passed it already. DF
