Video: We Interview George Poteet after he runs 401 MPH at BonnevilleBy Chad Posted 08/13/09

BangShift.com man on the scene Chad Reynolds was at the 7 mile marker on Bonneville's famed speedway, when George Poteet took the Speed Demon D/Fuel Streamliner through the 5-mile at an average of 394 miles per hour with an exit speed of 401 miles per hour. We were right there when the car came to a stop to get all the info and reaction from George. As usual he was cool as a cucumber, and was ready to go faster. This pass has the highest recorded speed of the SCTA's 2009 Speed Week, and was incredible to watch. Check out the video below to see what Poteet and engine builder/tuner Ken Duttweiler had to talk about after this amazing pass.

    Congrats to George on running 401 MPH on the salt.....I wouldn't even know where to begin even trying to [i]fathom[/i] what 400 miles per hour feels like.

    Not holding my breath on it happening, but that would be a blast to check out at least.......
