Dirty Hooker Diesel COTD - '00 Gardner Stone

Dirty Hooker Diesel clip of the day. 2000 Ft. Recovery, OH Gardner Stone The General 4x Lycoming T-55 helicopter engines on a custom frame. Garnder comes out of Vermont with a healthy love for motorsports. With a strong family business of dealerships he started out his pulling career in the minis before going up to modifieds with Allison power through the 80s. The need for more power and less maintenance gave birth to The General Stage IV with turbine power. While capable of 160mph tire speeds in a time when that seemed like a fantasy in the mod classes, the changeover to modern tire designs reduced the competitiveness of the machine. With more time sorting the chassis could it be made to run neck and neck in present-day Unlimited? We could find out. It sits ready in the shop. While grandsons have been seen at the wheel of it here and there, these days it is more frequent for Stone to be spotted at the 'strip wheeling a Cobra-Jet Mustang in Factory Stock Showdown.
