To travel all the way from the greater Edmonton-area to Firebird is a mighty feat, especially so when you're talkin' about a trip of 1,150 miles one-way. Reg DeForest has now traveled to Boise on a couple of occasions to the Halloween Classic weekend with his very sweet `23 T Roadster. Running a supercharged combination, the previous best for the Alberta racer was 7.06 seconds. But Reg definitely stepped up to the plate at Classic XVI, not only qualifying second to Paul Snell at 6.91, but returned in mid-40 degree mine-shaft air during eliminations to nail a career quickest 6.79 (in a round one victory) and 6.81 at 198.50 mph (losing bid to eventual champ Dan Lafferty)! We just want to say thanks for bringin' that bad boy roadster to Idaho this past October. Image by Brian Losness
