Okay, I just spotted Vesco's 303.812 in '75.  It was with 2000 cc's not 1500, and he had an UN-fair advantage... he only had to accelerate 2 wheels.  I want to be the first to do it with all four, okay?

Okay?

Hmmm...

(Maybe I can be the first NA Gas 2 liter over 304mph?)

It was two 747cc Yamaha 2 strokes. The same vehicle later became the Skytracker Car. 8)
Mc Carty's liner was about 90% the last time I saw it with a single 750 Honda that was built to also be AWD. That would a good project for Kent to put Mishelle in to do it.
Are we getting back from the wonderful BAR deal ?
Reality is better than Mooby anyway.

Why would we be talking about an F1 team. This is a Land Speed Forum! :o

The light is pretty and the bugs can really fly, but it doesn't mean they are very smart outside of their deal. 8)

Hey, JackD,

Two 747 cc motors would put Vesco into the 1500cc class wouldn't it?  But on line his record is in the 2000cc class.  

Or does two stroke change things for bikes?

The record with the 750s was set in 75, it was FIM,AMA, and SCTA.
In 79 or 80 the 1650 class was added for the HDs and It should have been reassigned to that I'll bet.
The worst part is the 318 Kawasaki record is gone from the AMA printing for the last 2 years and it has never been broken. The same problem exists with Corbin (elec) and Campos(2HD).
A lifes work gets very little attention when it is gone and less to restore it.

The Mooby will have to go on without them.
The press release was not sent out until yesterday to the International Press and the general feeling arount the F1 watchers is not too kind.
The feeling is if they modify it for use on the salt, it is not a F1 car anymore, just a slow salt racer.
Today in Japan, Honda annnounced the purchase of the remaining 55% of the F1 team from BAR.
NEXT :roll:

I see in today's London papers that they have had to cancel the attempt because of the wet course.

And they also say that Honda have bought out BAT's stake in BAR.  So, if they do come back next year it will be as Honda.

A final thought (perhaps) on the BAR activity at Bonneville.  Just reminded myself that if they fail to run before 12/31 then the car will no longer be elegible for F1 use as it is.  The 2006 FIA formula is for 2.4 litre V8 motors - say take away 200 bhp!  If there is a hint of a 'dry line' then maybe they will make it in '05.

The interest in this thread has been produced by a professional race outfit trying their hand (and throwing some big dollars) at something different.

If they ran Alt93A they would have no surface worries (LOL).
