Doug Reed's Bad Mofo...

[Super73]

Have any of you seen or heard of his truck? My Buddy Dan Sandberg has told me about it for years. Doug used to race it in the late 90's - early 2000's.

Link from Drag central in 2003 showing it going 8.32 back then: http://www.dragracecentral.com/drcstory.asp?ID=15083

I believe this to be a youtube clip of when it was redone more recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybPPTjIgJWs

Did Doug not own that truck or another one back in the 90's? My buddy Dan Sandberg has told me a bit about it.

A guy name dave owned the truck before gavin. Doug has a truck somewhere thats bad but that one is not his.

Thanks Gomeez for the clarification. The Truck Dan has talked about is definitely Doug's and pretty sure it before he had the El Camino. Dan used to have an El Camino in the 90's. From what I understand it used to get a bit of attention up in Reading and Sac. Was a NA BBC @ 3,500ish lbs and went 9.3x on motor if not mistaken. Also went 8.9x on a kit.

I believe I have seen Doug's truck and Dan's Elco on a poster from an event they both ran back in 96 I think.

Dan's old Elco is now owned by another guy in Salinas.
