Pretty cool. For those of us who don’t know that much about the classes, tell us more. Which engine, mods, class records. We understand you do have secrets.

Xo stands for engine class (Vintage )PP is production pick up.
the XO/PP rules for the 1961 f100 require a 6 cylinder engine no more than 302 cu. in. displacement. engine must be naturally aspired. Retain the factory Block and factory head.Unlimited mods other than changes in port configuration and bore spacing.
no body modifications except removing the w/s wiper arms and mirrors .
you can view the build thread on the H.A.M.B. Main Board or the Virginia HAMB social group pages. You must join the Va HAMBers social page to view it there
the record at Bonneville is 131.507

How would this "low" 1961 Ford F100 Unibody handle the salt?
