That machine is a beast. Me and Mike got to see it before it was complete at Good Fellows yard here in Boulder City and that looked fast sitting there. Volker gave us the invite and let us check it out before the first trip to Bonneville. Thanks again Volker!

The JCB DieselMAX claims a 350 mph top speed, but it's record is 317 mph.

So the Mormon Missile is in striking distance of being the fastest diesel record holder of all time.
