Talk about bad juju. Bob Johnson from Georgia owned this caddy. It was built a few years ago by Allen Johnson Hot Rods. Bob ran the car numerous times at bonneville and set a few records including one at this years speed week. The car was never meant to stay in one piece though. It started life as any new caddy would I guess. But soon found itself submerged in water down around the gulf. It was a victim of Katrina. That answers the question of why would someone take a 50k+ new late model and build a racecar huh. Well the car is gone now, this time for good. Bob wrecked the car last week at bonneville and totaled it. He had had problems at speed week even going the correct direction but this time it really ended bad. He wasn't hurt I hear bad the silver caddy is no more...
But Spud's Datsun is coming along nicely!
