Update August 3, 2025

We have made big change to our running gear which has kept us too busy to post.  Finally had to give up on the Weismann transaxle. After a decade of trying, we could never get it reliable.   We have gone to a Liberty’s 7 speed transmission with a custom made transfer case from Liberty’s, coupled through a custom made differential by Tubeworks.  We did a few hub dyno runs with the gear last week and a shake down run today at Speedweek on the salt.  All the new running gear worked great.

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.
