That is the same Van Day. I was helping him in his pit that day and I did not hear the call for his class to come to the staging lanes. If I remember it right, Hobi showed up late to the staging lanes as well because he did not hear the call. I have known Van since about 1980 and he has sometimes been hot under the collar for one reason or another. I saw him at the last BOR and he is showing the signs of age. It was also nice to see his old race car 1 HI DUDE racing again.
This is a picture of 1 HI DUDE back at one of the early BOR.

Just like what was said above, I was in the tower and couldn't believe what I was seeing, the even dumber move was when he was flying back down the return road and was not stopping for the track officials that were waiting for him. He was lucky that throwing him out of the event was all they did after that stunt
C'mon Rich, I'm chompin' at the bit. I know there is lot's of history on this car.buggdude67 said:
One of my teamates, Brian saw the dragster in 2001 at Van's shop parked along side Van Again 2, and One High Dude when he bought the original Van Again car seen here at the Grand National Roadster Show

The red car originaly was built by a guy in Oregon,...Bamburg. It started as a Baja Bug and then morphed into a Drag Bug. Van got in from Bamburg and paraded it around for a few years.Brian Watts said:
Brian bought it from Van in 2000 and we went through it, had it painted and Brian raced it for the next few years. He ran a best of 12.18 @ 118mph. He always thought the car was a handful. It scared him one time too many and he decided to sell it and take a break from racing.
It was bought by a doctor in Modesto. Since the last change of hands it never ran the number again. It was partially repainted again after it was hit by the dually truck that towed it. Apparantly the driver failed to set the parking brake and the truck was left in neutral. It rolled down the driveway and slammed into the car and pushed it into the house.
We last saw the car at Bug-In 32. Not sure if it is still being raced.
At Battle Of The Imports - Famoso Raceway circa 2001
Yea, If I remember correctly, it was purple and named "Pressure Sensitive". ??? Might have read it wrong I guess. Either way, good news! I dont know if its good news having Chad driving. I've seen the way that kid drives. 
Honestly, and I think Greg will agree with me here, other than Van, I wouldn't want to see anyone else driving that thing other than Chad. Somehow, times have changed since when we use to race our bikes @ BOR and I would always beat him. Chad took me out in sportsman after I won the previous one. Kid's got some talent. Good luck bud.
