Errol Farmer has a AAR it was pretty quick. At 320 hp It is a great combo compared to 314 for the HC Thermoquad combo.

I saw Gene Buell at Fall Fling in Van Nuys today (sun was shining) and he said
somebody needs to buy his Challenger and bring it back out to race.

I have too much tied up in my own junk to do it but how would someone with the means buy that car?

Bill,

If someone is interested in Gene Buell's Challenger they can PM
me and I'll give them his contact info. I do not feel I can post that
here.

Gene does read this message board sometimes.

Perfect, thanks Phil.

I did talk to Phil on Saturday. He told me I should check this site. Thanks.

Car is fine, just resting, I'm waiting for my buddy Bob to race again, so they can pick on someone else for a change!! GB

My $$$$ is on Buell to have the fastest 340 car. He had a Demon that ran 10.6's ( I think) 15 -18 years ago in Sacramento. That car was flat out fast. His Challenger is also a beast. Everything he has raced has been fast. Let's not forget his Max-wedge car. That poor guy was a villan while he was whipping *** in class, but with the new DP's and CJ's, he might be a hero once again. The secret to his return involve no whining..

Gene held E/SA (set at Sac,) for a couple years until it was retired @ 10.82 @120 MPH in mid 90's. His car and Ken Etter's were hands down the fastest in those days until they both sold them to build other projects. Shaul ended up with Ken's car for a while and Danny Misbrenner ran Gene's until last year both going very fast too.
