Bonneville Roadster story

[mkilger]

Just got word from Miller Welders that they did a story on our roadster,  check it out:  http://www.millerwelds.com/education/articles/story175.html

Wow! That's quite a long story - great pics, too!
I just briefly scanned over the text, I see they called SpeedWeek the "grand finale" of salt racing - but the real star is roadster. I hope they got the story right in telling that tale.
Congrats, and have a safe time in your attempts!

Looks like your using one of the less common BBC blocks for you mock-up. But a good one.

Yeah Rich, looks like a 392H.  The story sez 570" BB Chevy with twin turbos but the rendering has a blower poking through the hood.

Mike, are you sticking with a supercharged Hemi by any chance? 

Nick 3rd.

Nick first we were going with a blown 392, but then we got some help from a motor guy thats into big in chevys so thats what we will run, we didnt know much about the 392s, and the guys going to tune and help us out, but sure would like to run a pair of your hemi heads on her. We have both motors the blown bbc will be for elmo and the turbo will be for bonneville. Thanks

It's a great story and wonderful publicity.

I've seen worse mistakes in, say, Hot Rod. 

I'm surprised that the Spelling Police haven't spoken yet

Mkilger,

Mike --
You're doing pretty nice work on that roadster.  But I see at least a couple of things you may want a second opinion on.  If you can get Russ Eyers, Roadster Committee chair, to look over your pics he may be able to give you some helpful thoughts and save you some extra work.  I'm not an expert on Roadster class design so don't treat my comments with a level of credibility that your project deserves.  Talk to someone like Russ.
