yet when I was going to post this great news I got this Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic.

So, are they really working on it?  :-D

Yes we are.  Machining, gathering, planning, We just don't have the man power for a digest of progress or the expertise to do such a project.  But YES we are working on the new car.  We are also taking the Lakester down to the frame and refurbishing everything.  We are busy for sure.

So, as I have read, the original quote is "There's no respect for 200. Let's go for 300."

Is the new quote "300 is so passe'- let's go for 400."? :-D

I look forward to seeing this build materialize! Good Luck!

The team was on KOMO news the other night and morning with a 4 minute plus story.  We think they did a good job.  Go To Local speed demons air to build 400 mph racecar.  www.komonews.com  look for videos. It is about Richard and Ed starting 30 years ago.

Nice Piece. The car looks like it is progressing pretty well. Reminds me a bit of The Rhinocerous as far as engine placement and general layout goes...

Brian, if you are at Gas Up this weekend I'll "learn ya" about posting fotos on this site.

I must be blind, I think I wore out the site looking for the article. Read a couple of others.
