Getting ready for Bonneville(rebuild)

[Jorge]

  whats the top speed?

[Bville701]

Great job guys!!!   

[bvillercr]

Our official top speed was 259 at the 3, our data logger showed a top speed around 280+.  We need to replace the front end and the hood. :| anyone know any good front end fabricators for fiberglass front ends?

[SPARKY]

congrats on the hat==long time coming

John and Troy....I'm overjoyed. It wasn't all you wanted but at least Daddio has the Hat.

There are still more opportunities ahead of you.

Keep all of us informed. We are most interested in your success.

Harry Glass makes a nice piece and will make it anyway you want, thick or light.  http://www.hairyglass.com/camaro.html   about half way down the page.  Almost all his stuff is from pro stock cars (subtle aero tweaks) and was made for Jerry Bickel, Jerry Hass and others. Tony

Thanks Tony, but no aero tweaks in front ends.  That would get us in trouble.

A few pictures of the damage.







Hard to see but when the hood blew off it took all the Dzus fasteners out of the front end.

But the results priceless!

Congratulations Guys. It was well EARNED.

Just an outside the box thought. Would a stock hood completely gutted with light tubular bracing similar to what's used in a Cup car maybe do a better job for you? Then you might be able to use a quick release hinge at the front.

Glad to see you guys got it done. It seems we had a fairly successful pit group. 3 new club members: John, Frank, and Ed.

[Freud]

Congratulations John. Is the score now John 2  Troy 1?

 Congrats guys. I am glad it all worked out ok and you guys and the car were ok. We spun just before you yesterday and I was watching you with the binoculars when you spun. Must have been a hell of a ride. That hood got some serious air time.

You guys were pitted across from us, and we stopped over to B.S. with you. You guys were great!

That's an awesome car, and even greater feat that you acheived! Congrats on the red hat!

[Milwaukee Midget]

Congrats, guys, and a pleasure finally meeting you, Troy.

Congratulations John. Is the score now John 2  Troy 1?

FREUD

Freud, it's now 2-2.  He finally caught up to the kid and the kid has never spun.

Thanks everyone for the replies, we need some ideas for a new paint scheme.  Throw some at us.

Great going you guys, really happy John got the Red Hat. Keep up the great work.
