BAR to run at Bonneville?

If the wheels (and tyres) are changed to fall outside the selection of an F1 car running during a championship Grand prix then it will just become an under three litre capacity open wheeled vehicle.  

'Classless' except under FIA rules (which will allow the 'freedoms' such as TC that the FIA LSR vehicle rules permit).  Once it has to run in an FIA normally aspirated class (Category A, Goupp II, Class 8 is my guess) then there should be FIA Steward and technical officials present.

Record speed to go at would be the Jeff Nish 201 mph set in 1987

[JackD]

I suspect that record is "Immature".
The perfect meal for a Hot Rodder.

So, at this point I am a bit unsure.  Is the public "welcome" at this event?  And if so, does anyone want to car-pool and share gas (diesel in this case)?  I'd be leaving from San Diego, probably Monday AM (the 3rd).

Actually, scratch the car pool date in the previous e-mail.  Just found out that the early "participation" on the Salt has been cancelled, so I will be heading up Monday the 11th or Tuesday the 12th from San Diego at 0-dark:30.

Any takers for a car pool in my dodge P/U?

Thanks,

According to BAR's "Bonneville 400" web site -

"RECORD ATTEMP NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
The attempt to set a new Land Speed Record for a Formula 1 car at Bonneville Salt Flats in October will be a private affair, closed to the public.  It was requested by both the team and the authorities that people do not make the trip to the Salt Flats during the runs in early October as the area around the team will be closed off.

"Several issues demand that, sadly, we have to conduct our record attempt in private," said the team insider. "We have been amazed at the response we'vbee had from the general public and anyone who wants to keep up with our progress can do so by logging on to the bonneville400.com website.""

Wouldn't be a real kick it the fastest "Junk Yard Honda" turned out to be John Romero's Accura!! ( John I am not saying that your car is junk, just following up on a previous post.) From what I saw on BAR's early testing once they got to 150 the driver could not see for the vibration! That what you get for running rail car springs! Maybe if they get the suspension compliant enough to take the bumps the ride height will be so high that it can't make 250!!

Hey, HEY, Rex.

Watch that fastest Junkyard Honda title.  I mean I found mine on ebay in a junkyard in Alabama (I think, maybe Arkansas).  It even had a busted rear appendage on the tranny.  I "just" dropped it into my car, swapped ignition/injector controller and after a "bit" more work put my foot into it.

BTW anyone want to car pool?  And yes, 1212, that is my phone number.

Those Honda guys make me want to put velvet ropes around my car at the starting line to keep all you "public" away.  

All the best,

Jim

John's Honda is a Civic

[dwarner]

Still 75 mph away short of the Barnyard Bomber, regardless of body styles. A fastest Honda is still a fastest Honda.

I think yellow Caution tape would be more appropriate.

[promachine]

Just got word that the BAR private runs are canceled.

[fastesthonda_jim]

Dunno there, 1212.  I'll see if I can get it for you.

And just in case you want to practice a bit, 1.800.jim.knap is a porn site.  (What you practice is up to you.)  (And NO, I'm not connected to it.)

Now be of some help and help me find some vevet ropes and brass poles, okay?

Okay?

Oh never mind,

Knapp
