Gunslinger Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Both true and false. It was a Chrysler 300-F, not a Newport. Andy claimed 760 horsepower from the engine with two Paxton blowers. He set a two-way record on the Daytona Beach sand with an average speed of 172.166 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
