2500 hp 25" track width Loose Salt What could possibly go Wrong?

Me and Cook JR were at the 41/2  in the "crash truck" and we saw that you were alittle sideways a few times, but if sounded bitchen coming to us, I know a guy with a turbo motor

Sprint car at 395, Great idea !   

I did drive circle track..

This run was driven with my right front... steering like a sprint car.  To bad I didn't pedal it again at 395, maybe I'd have a 400 mph time slip..  The point of land racing is to get that ride that will be beyond an E ticket ride. You drivers out there know what I'm talking about. The one run that will be in your memory forever.  For me this was just the beginning..

FYI .. for you builders, pay attention to center of mass vs center of pressure. Keeps you pointed in the right direction on bad salt.  And IF you are going to put a tail on your car, put it in the wind, away from the body (boundary layer).

Pops.. I ordered a new helmet..   


This little old Hemi... it may just be fine..


Just need NITRO..

The Video's of George's hands on the wheel, looks like he is going to the store for a soda at 400 plus

Sure would like to see a Video of your wheel being worked out

I like your Style of driving ' Gas It Up ' boy that has got to be a Thrill having wheel spin at 400 !!

Hands don't really move much.  It was driven by the throttle blade.
 
And it was only the 4th long course pass .

It will be straighter next time.

I can't really afford to buy new tires every run.

With that much HP tires will always be a worry and if tires need to be changed often it will be the least expensive thing you ever did to reach 400+. Funny thing about motorsports something is always reaching in your wallet......Good Luck

George who?     

[Leadfoot]

WOW great Video...............

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Hmmm, all right.  I just now got around to watching the video, and my reaction was "Hey, he did a LOT of steering!!"  It sure looked fun, so to speak, and I do certainly look forward to seeing the car run next year on the salt.

Comment:  Downplay the music and let us hear the motor and the gears and that stuff, please.  I know that Mr. and Mrs. Sixpack won't likely enjoy the noises -- but I sure as heck do and I know other racers that'd rather hear a hemi than a guitar.  I will grant you thanks, though, for having the music be low key and sorta mellow (instead of some of the stuff that I've heard on videos).

Bob,

Speaking of throttle blades, who's injector is that, or who made it? I have never seen one quite like it before.

Thanks,

Tom G.

Video from Monday afternoon (small handheld camera).  Fiercest sounding streamliner that I heard this year on the salt.

Yep i'am with Slim, 86 the rock all together as hearing a blown fueler go for 5 miles is one of the sweetest sounds on earth

I hate music on racing videos because you cant hear the race cars !!!!!!!!

G Don

[7800ebs]

The problem with cameras on the cars, is small tiny mics on small bullet cameras..

what is picked up is all the other sounds.. wind body rattles etc.. not blown hemi..


we need the sound.. which is behind the car.. like this video..

so we are looking for camera people to record the car as is goes down the track..

here is the first on the gas run I made in 20 years.. 322 quarter last fall.

I was to run to the 3 mile per Mr Kennedy.. camera people didn't know

A beautiful, impressive car and some great driving.  Hope the driving becomes more 'boring' again so the car can be in the throttle almost all of the time.  If so you are going to put up some very impressive speeds.

I'd really be interested in any information you'd care to share about the drive train (engine, transmission, rear-end).  Any other construction pictures would be great.  I looked on you web site but couldn't find any  .

The best of luck,

Sum
