Sema day four highlights:

Day four was the shortest for me, I regret that I only discovered Toyo Tires awesome treadpass as I was leaving as it may have had the sum total of the coolest metal at the event. Enjoy day four:

Sema day three highlights:

Day three:

Bonneville Salt Flats

Prepped for only one thing: SPEED.

Bonneville prepped First Gen Mazda RX7:

The rear quarter window gives this one away: Datsun 240Z.

The Banks Sidewinder Dodge Dakota: World’s fastest pickup, and powered by a diesel.

I will be doing a post on some of the Banks project vehicles sometime.

 

 

 

Would you believe this Salt Flats prepped Ferrari 575 Maranello was slower than the Dakota, only hitting a best of 212.6 so far?

Can you believe this started life as a humble Fiat 600?

Thunder from down under: A Ford Falcon taxi?

Dakotas aren’t the only pickups to play in the salt. This Ford Ranger was mighty quick too.

Banks yet again, a GMC Sonoma this time.

Note the engine and ridiculous front end on this Honda N600!

Maybe one of the most beautiful cars to hilt the salt, a Mercedes 300SL.

IMSA race cars:

Cool wheels that work on everything, v.2: BBS LM

“Murdered Out” Black on black v.2

Flamethrowers v.1:

Typically, a bark of flame from the exhaust is a sign of a high powered machine. Sometimes it’s just some clever spark plug placement. 

Cool wheels that work on everything, v.1: BBS RS

I know there are many kinds of the BBS wheels in this style, and many things that can be done i.e. different types of lips, faces, caps, bolts, etc.

 

Somehow, they look good on anything.
