History The Anteater

For informational purposes only: This video was posted as a thread, about a week ago.

I wanted to and want to comment about the looks, but ...

 

Brian is fun in real life, too....I got to chat with him a couple times last year.

 

I checked it out. Very cool background info and a great listen.

 

So let's see if I've got this straight... this guy goes to the salt for the first time ever, with a car that he just finished assembling the day before, and joins the 200 club on a shakedown pass on the first day, in first gear.....
That's impressive.

 

Thanks, now I feel like such an underachiever!

 

Yes it was (but without @Ryan's commentary and great suggestion to subscribe to Brian's YouTube channel):

The 313mph Backyard Hot Rod: Art Arfons' 2,500hp Anteater

Art was the best.

 

Amazing story .

I like how the news papers kept having to emphasize “ no high school education , no engineering degree etc etc “
Like Art was an elbow licking crayon sniffer !! Hate how the “ trades” and being handy were looked down on for so long .

the man built some incredible machines and did so much with so little , inspiring to say the least .
