We took this suspenseful photo during the filming of the “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary. Chico Kodama, the President of MOONEYES USA, and his MOONEYES Team are waiting at the start line of the World Finals at the famous Bonneville Salt Flats. His Crew Chief, Tim McManus, who helped him build his new rear engine modified roadster #1533, is talking with him. Dean Moon, Jr., the son of legendary hot rodder Dean Moon, is assisting. In the background are two rocket-shaped streamliners. The yellow one is Team Vesco #444 EV, one of the world’s fastest electric streamliners. It felt like you were looking at the past, present, and future at the same time. This is one of the many incredible images in the new “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Photography Book.
