Sid, so You boldly called me on my statement that we would not run at a SCTA event
because at that time the rules, if enforced, would have not allowed us to run for several
reasons. When we passed tech we would have been stupid to bow our neck and not run
because of a statement that I made. When I made the statement it was based on a firm
decision that the car would not pass tech. I don't know that the prior rules have been changed
but I do know the car passed tech and our driver is comfortable with the car as presently run
at speeds close to 300 MPH.
Our car is 43 feet long and has 3" of clearance. You can take this to the bank. It will not be towed
on the ground. The amount of time spent on building the transporter was well spent. At the WOS
event we found that even in the carrier it was impractical to move the car any substantial distance.
The salt is just too rough to even move it in the carrier. So the car is lifted by the carrier, secured
and reloaded into our 3 axle 53 foot triple axle trailer and moved.
If this doesn't meet with your approval, build a streamliner with a open trailer and protest us.
In your opinion that will make my prior prediction come true ........unless the protest is disallowed.
Not because the CAR didn't pass tech but because we didn't have an open trailer.
The car was not built to satisfy SCTA rules but somehow it has.
FREUD
