Were heading West once again this year going to run a supercharged ARDUN for power plan is to take out an equity loan to afford the diesel fuel for the long drive. A few changes are taking place on the race car. One is new solid billet aluminum front wheels custom made by Curtis Speed. Tiered of the two piece wheel's always leaking air. Also updated the data system.
 Who else is going and what are you bringing?

Ronnie, damn diesel is back at the price it was with the prior administration... we all hate that!  But if cost was a factor we would not be chasing Landspeed Records... As I remember, the prize money for winning will cover 0 miles of the trip. Yep we just do it for the money too  :?

But to answer your question we are going and will show up with the Bockscar running in the 1.5 liter Blown gas class.  Yep, that's the same class we ran last year, qualified but as you know, going fast enough once in a row is just an opportunity to go back and try again.
See ya at the 6  :cheers:
