I read over on the TDR where the Banks Dakoda went 218 mph at Bonneville. For anyone who's never been to the salt flats, let me tell you that was no easy feat to go that fast in a street driven truck.

I live out there five months out of the year. All it takes to break 200 mph on the salt flats is a hot day and too many cases of beer. Seen it happen dozens of times. [laugh]<br><br>GP

I think you've got the Salt Flats confused with I-80.<br><br>Usually Eastbound heading back to Utah from Wendover [laugh].<br><br>****** off Utahns with no money and a few too many free cocktails under their belt.<br><br>phox

There is another thread on this already, and here is the link:<br><br>http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/yabbse/index.php?board=7;action=display;threadid=6200<br><br>The information was posted from Banks themselves so you know it's accurate. Since that thread is already there, I am going to close this one.<br><br>Jack
