What If Build Ideas...for Land Speed Racing

Thank you. Yes I have a rule book already. Mostly just learning right now. This discussion was what the masses thought was the best way to make the HP for extended runs needed. Do you run a car there? That yours in the pic? I would love to discuss things with you as they come up. I don't believe my current build would be a good fit, but who knows. Also, there is no way in Competition Coupe or Modified Sports would I have the budget to compete for a record. Just would like to make some passes someday. Starting with learning and asking questions.
People have scrutinized the rule book looking for a bit of a loophole or place they could gain an advantage. They may be a record holder in a class but change their engine to one that is only a couple of CID under the limit for a class where they think they could get that advantage. Their chassis is already sorted but may take a couple of years on engine developement.
