In a competition that "took hot-rodding back to its SoCal roots," the SoCal Speed Shop--the entity founded by original hot-rod hero Alex Xydias and now helmed by Pete Chapouris--finally won the AMBR.

Chapouris expects a top speed of around 160 mph. The new color scheme comes from a V8-powered hot rod that So-Cal’s founder Alex Xydias sped to across at El Mirage dry lake bed.
