Bonneville General Chat / Re: Doug Herbert LSR Streamliner

« Last post by tallguy on Today at 11:22:30 PM »

I wish Doug Herbert great success and progress with his land speed car project.  But based on what I have seen so far,
I'm not going to hold my breath while waiting for the car to be completed.

Aerodynamics / Re: C/GALT Body Stretch??

Want the cheapest 300 h.p. you will ever buy?? Call Janek  and order a Daytona nose and wing.

Thanks  Not sure about 300hp, but maybe 150hp.   I have spoke to Grant about wings and noses.  I would like to not do that as there are already several wing cars out there.  No c500 cars.  I will if I need to, I have the flush back window is done  already and that is the hard part.

speaking from experience, I would double check the rulebook to determine if the rules for the class you are trying to build into allow for a flush mounted back window. unless this is a time only build, in which case my point is moot. i can't wait to see your monster on the flats!

Seems they have changed the link
new address here: https://horel.chpc.utah.edu/data/station_cameras/bflat_cam/bflat_cam_current.jpg

Thanks, it looks like they moved all the camera data to a new server:
https://horel.chpc.utah.edu/data/station_cameras/bflat_cam/

I'm guessing the official entry point is still this one:

Steering - Suspension - Rear End / Re: Hard Tail Vs. Soft Tail? (and general questions)

« Last post by tallguy on Today at 01:35:58 AM »

Powered by only 175cc, it's not likely that you'll have to deal with much excessive spinning of your rear tire.  I'd keep that one
relatively lightweight and narrow, and use a good amount of pressure in it.

I don't guess that you'd go much faster than about 130 mph (give or take a few mph).  The bike's top speed probably would not be much affected by whether you have rear suspension, but for the sake of comfort I'd suggest no rigid rear end.  I would favor a
relatively small diameter, lightweight front wheel & tire with little rebound damping in the front suspension, in order to keep
the front tire well-grounded.  Good luck.
