The only 3 time consecutive 1/10th scale U.S. On-Road National Champion ('87,'88,'89)...as far as I recall. Sadly passed away this past May 18, 2024. For those that didn't know, just thought the group might appreciate the history.

You never heard of the Coors Light Silver Bullet? Huge in the 80's... The livery adorned...
funny cars
monster trucks
sled pullers
cup cars
winged outlaws
indy cars
an autocycle
And... a train
People called the bare aluminum cans "Silver Bullets" and Coors' marking department capitalized on it.

I'm aware of the Coors Light Silver Bullet , I almost went with it on my Silverpan. It was more of a joke on the bullet flying through the air with the case still on it.
