JT Nesbitt to premiere Bonneville documentary

Confederate Wraith designer JT Nesbitt will be premiering Salt Dreams, a documentary about his Bonneville land speed–record attempt April 2 in New Orleans. JT, along with a rag tag band that included a Triumph dealership owner, a founding member of Black Label Bicycle Club, a professional Boy Scout and a bartender with a tattooed face, built their racer out of the remains of a Lincoln Mark VIII that had been immersed in Hurricane Katrina’s floods. The documentary chronicles their attempts to set the speed record in the Blown Gas Coupe class, which stands at 268mph.
