Why? Because this is GMC&#8217;s record-holding Bonneville racer, and usually it&#8217;s nothing more than a blur, followed by dust devils of snow white salt. As you know, GMC already garnered the world&#8217;s fastest pickup award last year in an S-15, and now they&#8217;ve done it again, posting a two-way speed of 204.145mph in a new Cyclone LSR. The record was set in FIA category A-Group II-Class 9 for production vehicles with an engine size of up to 5.0 liters, and the truck was piloted by land speed veteran Don Stringfellow. For this year&#8217;s attempts, the truck used BF Goodrich speed-rated Comp T\/A street radial tires, with power coming from a 5.0-liter V6 engine. Now that&#8217;s haulin&#8217; \u2026.salt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Popular-Hot-Rodding-12-90.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Popular Hot Rodding 12-90.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-86dd84e8-2a9d-494e-a159-0504a30b2f44\" href=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Popular-Hot-Rodding-12-90.pdf\">Popular Hot Rodding 12-90<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sportmachines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Popular-Hot-Rodding-12-90.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-86dd84e8-2a9d-494e-a159-0504a30b2f44\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Popular Hot Rodding<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2818,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-land-speed-record","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2815"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2815\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3064,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2815\/revisions\/3064"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sportmachines.com\/wp-index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
