Happy New Year to my fellow Land Speed Racers.
Been keeping at it with the target date for our DLRA 2016 Speed Week event getting very close now.

The buck has been made up for the nose of the car and will be initially molded in glass fiber then probably carbon composite.

With the bottom of the car being flat an alloy plate support section has been fabricated to bolt onto the main chassis.
The nose section will be fixed to this with Dzus fasteners.

Primary chute release will be actuated with a button on the steering wheel with the mandatory manual back up.







Using a boot popper solenoid to do the job :cheers:

Using some Innovate Motorsports gear to log the run data for the car and also stuff from Spud Miller at Fuel Injection Enterprises to enable control of the engine revs etc.




Therefore we need to add a crank trigger set up (to a 60 year old engine!!!) to do this.

Looks like your body shape plan is for a flat bottom car, was that your intent when you did your first design? I ask because you made a lot of effort to make the bottom of the chassis round.

Really great work,can't wait to see the finished car!!!

Hi Rex,
Your'e right the rounded bottom of the car was my original concept and a lot or work went into it to follow along the Belly Tank theme.
Reading about and looking at other salt and high speed circuit racers I changed my mind and figure 'Oh well weight is our friend' so a few pounds extra wont hurt! :roll: :roll: :roll:

Well we are now down to the final welding of the main chassis with a few body mounting tabs etc to go on.
About 5 weeks to go before the car's debut at our DLRA 2016 Speedweek.
Have run the engine on alcohol and am pleased with our initial set up.
All has now been dismantled and I am happy with being able to do this without extra assistance.
Once the chassis has the main welding done I will add the necessary Dzus Fastener tabs as required and then shoot some etch primer onto it.

Wow, early hemi and a torqueflite.  You'll have to let me know how the torqueflite does.  I'm going to be running one in my project with a Polyspherical.  I've been concerned with it sucking up too much power.
