Default Charleys Vacuum Cleaner

Hey, did Charley ever race Maggy Pelts Roadrunner with his Nova? I would have paid to see that, Coolest thing seeing Charley zip down the track without making a sound, actually sounded like a vacuum cleaner, that is one cool car

Sam, are you talking about his red Chevelle? The one that sounded like a jet...and ran like stink?

Did anyone get a good video of it ? Jeff sent me one from his phone but it is only a partial. Paceme filmed me on my camera but it is still in the trunk of the car somewhere around Chicago on the transport.

Charley - I got a couple runs on video of your cars (Malitude and Super Snake) I will work on getting you a copy of them...you might just get a copy of the 2 hours of footage I taped.
