The Lyrics

In 1971 on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, Johnson Motors broke the dry land speed record for snowmobiles with his gold-painted 300 hp powered "Pegasus II" driven by Dick Hansler, a policeman from Wisconsin. The record was set over a 3-mile acceleration run. This machine was incredible and still survives in Pa.
Johnson Pegasus II
in record time

Johnson Motors built something new
Death-defyin’
140.625 mph flyin’

Pegasus II could withstand it
On dry ground
300 hp twin Stingers weren’t shabby
Gonna take the old snowmobile record down

Johnson Pegasus II
in record time
Ran fine

He drove you
He drove you
He drove you
To glory somehow
4.5 ft high and 14 ft long
Directional fin for stability
Weight-2000 lbs!!!

1971 victory
Johnson Pegasus II
in record time
(fastest “dry” snowmobile run in history)

Wow! what a cool looking sled! ;-D Do you happen to know how fast his record speed was? 555 mph sets the record for this parody! :-)

WCJ, yes, it definately looks wicked. Speed was 140.625 mph over a 3 mile run. That's fast for a snowmobile!!!

RB, if you run through my parodies you will find hundreds of strange aircraft and vehicles. I specialize in obscure topics. Glad you liked the parody or the information and pics!
