You have undoubtedly seen this car, maybe even this image posted on the internet. The twin engines, the hemi hanging in front of the front tires, the "dragster" that no one seems to know much about.
Well, this is not a dragster.This is a land speed streamliner called Motion 1 and it was the product of the minds and hands of two brilliant men, Noel Black and Bert Petersen of B&N Automotive in Sacramento, California.
The story is amazing, as are the guys' collective accomplishments. It is far more than a meme, far more than a wild burnout photo, and far more than most people would ever realize.
This is the amazing and tragic story of Motion 1.
