I talked with Skip about this out of the box idea, to my knowledge, it never saw the salt...the engine was used on several dragstrip for some fun and show...more fun than speed...as it were demonstration runs...see attachment

Looks more like some sort of a dirt car to me than LSR material but we do have newbies that come along from time to time who don't have a clue!

Anybody know anything about this car?

As far as I can tell, it was built but never ran in anger.  Is this correct?

According to the 1984 SCTA record book, the Stanley Rocket set the record in 1906 at 127.660 mph and the Steamin' Deaon raised it to 145.607 mph in 1985. I found no runs of this car on the salt

Bonneville Record holder in 500cc-MAF and custom bike builder has sadly passed away.
Fabulous guy, a big loss to the land speed and custom bike community. R.I.P. Mark - keep the throttle pinned!
