THE KILLING OF THE VEGAS RENTAL CAR with Nicky Boninfante

A video series from the makers of the Legends: The Series, CompetitionPlusTV presents the best stories of drag racing as told by the legends themselves. In this episode, veteran nitro tuner Nicky Boninfante tells the story of the day Bob Gilbertson, with a bit of encouragement from Boninfante, not only destroyed a pit bike, but also a rental car, pavement at Las Vegas drag strip and the team owner’s wallet. It’s the story which never ceases to amaze many.

HI, IT’S RON SCELZI with Hall of Famer Gary Scelzi

Life on the road can be tough sometimes, and when you’re a rental car it’s much tougher. Hear the story of Funny Car legends Gary Scelzi and Ron Capps, and the day driving across freshly lowed 30 acre field after a golf tournament sounded like a good idea at the time, but afterwards had some dire consequences. When you’re the storyteller, you tell the story how you want to. Just ask Scelzi.
