THE EX-KENNY BERNSTEIN BUDWEISER CAR The Acceleration Archive: Okay, so the Dick LaHaie car lasted from 1988 to 1990. Then you bought the ex-Bernstein car but had to wait until 1992 before racing again. Who were your sponsors when you came back in 1992? Pelle Lindelöw: Well we sold the LaHaie car to Per Danielsson in the south of Sweden (where it later became a Top Methanol Dragster) and bought the Budweiser car in early 1991, after a hint from Micke Kågered that there was a car for sale. Me and Janne Carlsson went to LA to take a look at the car. We weren’t too impressed as the chassis was bent from too many wheelstands, but there were no cracks and although it was partially rebuilt before being shipped to Sweden, we were advised not to try and straighten it out as this would stress the chassis. The car never did give us any handling problems, it just looked peculiar, though ‘the banana’ looked a lot better when we later gave it a new body and a higher windshield. © Andy Barrack 2005 |
