Leno was shook up, the driver just took it in his stride.

He needs to go to my Combat Bob's Driving School!

I bet Leno literally crapped himself. Glad he and Riggle were not hurt. Sad part is, the car was ruined, and I saw that episode too. Newport 66, what's the 2020 edition about, are they bringing the car back?

Here's some pictures an artist came up with, not sure if he's tied to the project or not.

Just renderings, but pretty cool.

Needs modern day Cragars, the black wheels are blah.....

How the hell are they cooling that engine????

Bet the radiator still in the front

Bet the radiator still in the front

Or massive electric fans!

It runs a quarter mile at a time, how much cooling does it need? What's the original have in it?

should be a 65 or 66 barracuda with a real hemi in it under glass.

It's supercharged with an intercooler.....

But that's not the cooling system.

Damn cool pics. That's the Demon too. The latest and most modern drag car from the factory. As Newport66 said, the black wheels are blah. At least in the front in my opinion. The original H.H.U.G's had mighty tuned Hemi's in them. First was the early 60s A body Barracuda then late 60s B body. They were created to be wheel standers.
