What Are We Going to Do With This??

This car has the most amazing pedigree and has set so many records. We are lucky enough to get a turn at it, but first we need to get a powertrain built for it...

I remember the movie Freiburger did about the record with this car. David is full time You Tuber now, a collaboration with him would be cool.

[@bobross4449]

@@brutallyhonestmf5578 it was also years ago on a episode of Roadkill, at the time Freiburger made the engine, and being well Roadkill. Things that can go wrong when wrong and they blew up the motor. “Because Roadkill.”

[@keithcargill8428]

Yeah, a collab with tom and dave with this car would rock.

[@lepus6511]

@bobross4449 finnegan built that motor. keith owned the car and managed the chassis side of it while freiburger provided the engines and drove it, but for that roadkill episode i remember finn built it

@ oh yeah, now I remember. I haven’t seen that episode in a while

[@joegrasso5866]

Well Tom, you do so much for the drag racing community, you have the cars, the friends and the events, I think it time for you to turn Milan Dragway into Sick Dragway, if anyone can make it happen you can.

[@vehdynam]

I totally agree.

Excellent timing, Tom. Alot of people need to see the cars we've followed for years, even decades, not to get fired... Rather fired up!!! Thanks Turk!

[@worldssickestmedia2713]

If you know land speed racing. You know this car. Absolutely legendary. I've been seeing this car in pictures and magazines since I was a teenager.

[@rpturbo]

What a incredibly cool guy Keith is! I love that he is willing to share his car with people to be part of the experience and lend his expertise. Looking forward to seeing this!

[@Bodie2020]

That’s a true racer who does it for the love of the sport. Lending a car with that pedigree to anyone is a testimony for the trust and respect he has in you and his faith that you will do good things in the car.

[@380.motorsports]

As a fellow land speed racer from Michigan this is really exciting news. Can’t wait to see what engine you choose to put in this car. See you on the Salt!

[@rdspeedfab]

Keith is one the best humans I have had the fortunate opportunity to call friend. Great guy, wealth of knowledge and the type of guy who is the foundation of this sport/hobby. I’ll be following along to see what you guys do. Neat to watch this car knowing I’ve got to work on it.

[@Dirtydave67]

My buddy Mitch Howe put the Petty bar in the car and if you look at the subframe connectors there should be caps in them to fill with weight. The caps and bungs were made for Triumph motorcycle oil tanks we fabbed at the time and he threw a couple on the subframe connectors.

[@keithturk104]

He did great work on it Saw Mitch somewhere this year

[@Dirtydave67]

@keithturk104 he went out to the Arkansas mile in October if I remember correctly, so probably there

[@claytontaylor2800]

I have photos of the car on track at Bonneville when Freiberger got his red hat run in it. 2004-ish? Gotta look for those images…..

Got to meet Keith back in 2020 when I was in southern Alabama. Amazing guy to swing by and talk to for an evening. I remember seeing the nomad right as the frame was being cut to fit an LS swap.

[@jeremiahgoodman3931]

Tom you have been passed the torch!!! That is what this car has become! It's Hotrod History! Like he said it's ok if it gets scratched or dented that's OK just don't wreck it!!!!! We all remember this car from Roadkill! We love this car and remember the record Friburger set in it! Just don't wreck it!!!!! God speed buddy!!!!! The torch is yours!!!!!!

I used to chat with Keith WAY back in the Yahoo chat rooms. This guy has forgotten more than most hotrodders will ever know. Such a nice guy with an incredible amount of knowledge.

[@keithturk104]

I remember that….

[@ANotSoHotRodGarage]

Going to Bonneville for speed weeks has been on my bucket list before I get put in the ground. Just to watch and see cars try to go as fast as possible, to see the craftsmanship of the cars.

[@69Dartman]

Thanks, I found you because of the Cleetus thing but this was a fun video of a cool guy and his toy. It'll be fun to see what you do to it and it will just add to it's history and it will be doing something new for it. If more people were like him we'd all be having a lot more fun, thanks for posting it, I'll be following this build 👍😎

[@blairalderton2238]

This is awesome! You're all gonna love the salt TB, and Kieth is terrific (as you already know), I've followed him on SM for a while and met him in B'ville in 2023!

[@davidgerstung5144]

Love the salt flats. Can’t wait to see you guys there

[@stevelacker358]

The upside down shift lever and putting O/D where 3rd gear “should” be is exactly how Chrysler put overdrive in the A-833 in the mid 1970s. The upside-down lever just swaps 3rd and 4th in the shift pattern.

[@theosmit6366]

That's also how Ford did the overdrives in their toploader transmissions in the mid-70's.

[@markwray3905]

Love the flat head Briggs on top of the cabinet 😊

[@keithturk104]

Sharp…. Made like 18hp on methanal supposedly… converted it to gas and used it on the Bville pit bike

[@kevinsellsit5584]

Best ad ever for the "green powder". Cleetus will be jealous and "they" will be ecstatic they saved $3000. 😮

[@Misterfairweather]

Excited to see you get a crack at this car, between this and SuperFastMatt it's a great time to watch land speed racing on youtube!

[@judgehastheword9069]

I knew when I seen the car on KZbin and you . I knew that you was going for a Speed record in that car. I have watched lot of people make there passes in it. Alex Taylor did a awesome pass. I wish I would have done that . I know there been othere people do it without there legs using hand controls. I have my NHRA LICENSE without legs. When I lost my legs at my job I got into drag racing started running to fast an was told I had to get my LICENSE. I was making passes at 7.62@165. I miss drag racing so much. Can't wait for you to start your speed record.

[@matthewschimelfenig2135]

If I'm not mistaken and I might be but as per the thumbnail that looks like David frieburgers land speed car he raced on the salt flats.

[@zacharykelly7434]

If I remember correctly the car belongs to the Turks and David provides engines and drives

Garrett is a DB. He's charging 20 bucks to see his Christmas lights. He would want something in return for his presence. He could have ended multiple people on the highway in today's stupid video locking up the brakes of that semi then tossing his crap in the road that got run over bye another vehicle. I wouldn't invite the biggest A hole I know to go with me, but I have a conscious and morals.

[@keithturk104]

@@martymorse2 I have always been a nascar fan, I've been disappointed in the rule packages of late... and he was correct... the Tex Racing 101A is a clutchless 4 speed. very similar to the old T10's... the fourth gear is a one to one output so Tex Racing used a .91 overdrive in the third gear set.... but shifting 1243 the car ends up with that .91 OD when you shift to fourth in the nomal patteren actually putting it in third gear.
