  • In this classic moment from Roadkill Episode 20, Finnegan builds an 1,100-horsepower big-block and Freiburger brings a Camaro that he's run 261 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Put 'em together and it's a recipe for win, right? Probably not, because Roadkill. #Roadkill #Camaro #MotorTrend

      @@oikkuoek Trenches happen on the salt, that's why they discuss it in this very episode how much of an advantage fresh straights and morning runs are. There's nothing you can do about that. And they absolutely did not cause a fatal safety hazard given the lack of fatalities. Additionally, 8000rpm is not where your power band should start, and given the sheer amount of records Frei has in that car, on those flats, in that world, I'd wager he's got a decent grasp on it, and that the Roadkill schedule disaster is the real issue. At the end of the day, it's merely spilled salt.
