Pat McSwain's land speed record broken by a Ford

[SHughes]

I see this truck getting a lot of press lately. I wonder who you would have to talk to at Dodge to get some help spanking this Ford. No reason any records should be held by a Ford and not the Dodge.

If you want to get technical, the SCTA-BNI records are:

DT/A, 440 thru 500cid 175.033 by a DuraMax
DT/B, 373 thru 439cid 169.331 by a PowerStroke
DT/C, 306 thru 372cid 215.091 by a Powerstroke

Then there is the Banks Sidewinder...222mph IIRC, with a Cummins. Due to rules classification is an FIA record not a SCTA-BNI record.

If I had deeper pockets, my Dodge CTD truck would be in the 200mph club.
