Detail of the rear wheels.
Putting the fuel and water tanks between the engine and cockpit instead of in the tailcone would have helped directional stability.

Someone is working on their post count really hard... one picture at a time... Someone is working to overcome the fact the limit on attachments is only 500 kB per post, otherwise someone would've posted every freakin' photo all at once. Someone does not expect the first comment to be a personal slight instead of thoughtful comments that add insight or background about this unique and innovative car. |

Most of us reduce the pictures to a size that is conducive to multiple posting. This helps limit server space and reduces download times for the guys on dial-up. The sort of thing that has been mentioned several times. Paying attention always helps, it keeps us from being too self-centered. It was not a personal attack, it was an obversation that would be correctable on your part.... If you feel slighted feel free to ignore me....  |

The ultimate in low ground clearance flat bottom streamliners I am not knocking the Crower car but imo the best low ground clearance flat bottom streamliner is the Speed Demon (Ron and Georges). The potential of this car has not been witnessed and I feel when salt conditions are better it will prove to be a crazy fast car  http://speeddemon.us/ |

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

It was a beuatiful car and a master of engineering. It is the only liner that I personally know of to spin out and not roll. He never ran it again.
