Default Land Speed Record Motorhome

Saw this on the Hemmings blog. 122 MPH Motorhome, 700 BHP. Who's up for a record beating Wanderlodge?

That’s one fast GMC, but that’s not fair, it’s just an empty shell with an engine!

Yeah I don't see how it could qualify as an RV. If it doesn't have a fridge full of beer you can't call it an RV

How fast does it have to get to top speed? I was rolling in traffic one day at about 90 before I realized it. If I gutted the coach I bet I could get to 120. However, I am NOIT driving my baby on salt. Nope.

According to the article, 122 MPH. Maybe if you knew of an SP36 with bad engine and trans it would make a good LSR racer!

Hmmmmm...now I'm curious, I wonder how long it takes to get the LXi up to 60mph.

I have been to speedweeks several times,i leave my bus at the bend in the road.
It does not go on the salt.

I raced my own car there once and i went with John Finn and raced his car once and i was there as a spectator once.
