It’s been nearly five decades but the Thompson streamliner made it back to Bonneville. The Thompson Challenger II with Danny Thompson on board made its first pass down the Bonneville salt since 1968. It made a clean 246mph pass on the 3 mile course. A whole lot of important things went just right.
Shortly after 8:30am the Thompson Challenger II with Danny Thompson onboard made its first pass down the track since 1968, 46 years ago!
