Update July 23, 2024

We started the car this weekend and went through the gears on the repaired gear box.

All went well.  We have now reassembled the car completely and final preparations are being made for Speed Week 2024.  The new turbos, ECU and ignition system have never been tuned and tested on a five mile track.  We will be arriving a couple of days into the event and using it as a test session.

A model of the race car has been made by a company in Germany. It is very detailed and accurate. I am not sure why they decided to make a model of the car but it is certainly interesting. They have not done other Bonneville cars in the past.  Let’s hope they start doing more.  It is available from them in Europe but is harder to get here in the US.  The car can be found here      https://www.autocult-models.de/models/autocult-07027/

The link below is to the PC version of the video using  browsers if you do not have VR goggles.  This way of viewing can be a bit buggy depending on your browser.

The race car began as a 1971 Triumph GT-6
The car has been modified per the SCTA rules from the cowl forward and stretched to a 130 inch wheel base. The top has been chopped 5 inches, and the chassis and suspension are all custom fabricated. The engine is a Brodix (Chevy) block and heads, V-8, 360 cu/in. twin turbo charged with ice water intercooling.  Boost is variable up to 40 psi.  HP is about 2800. It is a front wheel drive car.
