Well, the board seemed a little slow lately & I haven't posted anything here in over a year so?
Here are some of the updates on the race car. We added tail feathers thanks to Bob Dalton & Kirk Harkins. We were going to add more weight but I didn't think the trailer could take it!
We also had Kevin Elliott at Kev's Rod & Custom fix our nose damage from 2017 (see pictures above) while Mike Kilger at Kilger's Kustom Metal hammered out a super nice engine bubble. We also went back to the chassis dyno after building a new hybrid turbo to do some fine tuning with the magic keyboard. Then it was off to Bonneville 2019.
There is an old saying, we came, we saw, & we put it back in the trailer. Okay, I could have changed it up a bit but the fact remains, we chose not to attempt a pass. As racers we wanted to try & herd our hot rod down the salt, I mean that's what were there for. But after the damage done in 2017 & the obvious issues with the race surface we decided to put it away & hope for better salt in 2020.
We still managed a pretty good "To Do" list for this season because race cars are never truly done. Anyway, here's hoping for good salt!
