Hope we can get some photos or video links from the races next month. Be fast, and safe!
Hi, here`s a couple of photos of my new vehicle build for the coming race , its a toffee rocket , and is capable of very high speeds. Total cost of build 20 dollars ( for sugar, butter, and peanuts). The rocket is lined with toffee and peanuts, and i blast laughing gas down the inside, which gives a very powerful thrust. Ah well, the proof will be in the pudding (or in the toffee pot) at the race.

Latest ice report . depth 2 feet of ice, mixed weather- warm days/cold nights. Good entry list, counting down the days now to Speedweekend.
We all want to see the V1 make it up the track. Hopefully this will be a historic moment for the Svarthålet (Black hole)racing team
see their machine getting warmed up and oozing pure power here :-

Need translator. Looks like a neat project. Good luck with this venture.

rocket scruteered and started, but a nasty storm blew in and stopped the racing. Maybe for the best, this Toffee Rocket is phenomenal.
You sure this wasn't taken at the 2011 World Finals?
Toffee Rocket starting up at Orsa Speed 2012. in this video the NOS only has a 2 mm hole through the safety solenoid. Imagine the sound with no restriction.

Let's see it run!!! :-o :-o :-D

Hi, i found some good Speedweekend 2012 photos on the Fuzzy Dice link
http://fuzzydice.fotki.com/cars-2012/speed-weekend-orsa-12/
Thanks for the link, a good group of pictures
Picture on pg 2 #168 is a picture of a real and running prop powered streamliner. Not sure how fast it ran but unlike the one over here called the propster this is a nice build.Any info on how well it has run.
:cheers:

Hi Glen, hmmm, the green propster picture 180, start nr 164 did a speed (on the poor ice conditions) of 69.59 mph.
It should come up in 90 mph on good ice. I think it has 12v lithium batteries, converting to ac 415v ac motor and a 15 or 16 " twin blade prop.
picture 168 start nr 700 is a V1 replica pulse jet. it sounded terrific as you can see/hear at http://www.landracing.se/ . it ran half the course before breaking something. But i guarantee that those guys will do a full run at next years event.
Ellwood
Thanks for the info. Looks like a great turn out, Is there only one event each year? I will follow this a little closer in the future. 8-)

Hi Glen, yes one event each year, around mid March. It usually takes me a year to get my old stuff tuned up, and the odd new crazy project up and running. We are of course dependant on the weather, but haven`t missed out on having driveable ice so far.
Our club has other types of events- dragracing, hillclimbs, quadracing,rally on ice, trackracing etc. But i think the Flying K on Ice is the Royal Bouquet.
What are you running and a new build as well, keep us posted.

Glen, On the previous page you can see my Toffee rocket nr 401, and the black bike nr 37, its- 500cc crankcase supercharged, which did a run of 97.8 mph.
Hope to have my 1300cc crankcase supercharged single ready for next years race

Pete, the race got stopped due to bad weather the last 2 hours , so didnt get to run the toffee rocket. It will have to wait a year for our next event. But i shall be trying it out on a boat this summer. Even thinking about multiple rockets and a carbonfibre hull for water speed records.

Hi, heres a short film from Speedweekend 2012.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=027w86GrH1w
Here is a tv programme - TV8 Gran Turismo- showing some stuff from our Speedweekend 2012. The programme is a bit mixed, from start to finish, so you need to watch the whole lot to see all of our race.

A small video from my bike camera how it feels to race the Flying Kilometer on ice.
