Bonneville Landspeed Racing - Let's Try a Thing.

71GSSDemon said

I watched all of speed week each year and have watched all i can find since starting this goal. They had the advantage of much more horsepower and a free car that had been a landspeed car before. Also helps they build race cars for a living. I find it quite frustrating honestly so many big shops are borrowing proven cars to bump records and getting their hats. Getting nearly impossible for an average person to build something and compete with that.

How can some who builds race cars, borrow a car, bump record and feel they earned the title and hat? Ok. Off my soap box, carry on

maybe you'll be a hired gun, too :rolleyes:
I do think it's cheesy but, thats racin' I guess
fyi,
you get this car sorted, I have an idea, or 5 (records)


steam be in your wheel house?
the brits spent millions, because they didn't understand vapor pressure, temp, refueling

if the car is solid to 150, the power plant is stupidly easy
and like bobby I in the daytona, could knock out more records

off the shelf stuff
then consider this


engine is air pressurizes water then propane, or electric as the superheater
this is easy pickin's, too

if it went 170, turned around and backed it up, (forklift tanks and just swap them,
unlike the brits that couldn't re-fuel it
thats 3 records
(only got a coulpe decades thinking on it, and 45 years in physical measurement)
actually, stupid simple, maybe
famous last words...:lol:
