came across this video, but with no background info to go with it, hope folks here can tell me more about it, I believe the video was done in spring 1990, depicting event from January 1957, when John Zink set speed record for flying mile (no return pass) at Daytona Beach in a 347 tri-power Pontiac.
Interested in more details about the original event, was this Pontiac's first racing success in the Bunkie Knudsen era? about the car? about John Zink?
But also interested in this tribute video, who was involved, when was it done, is there a better (or longer) copy, assume the car used is a re-creation, who owned it at the time, where is it now, etc.
note:click image to play, you don't need facebook account to view video, best with the volume cranked
