"Art Car" Class?

A facebook friend linked me this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT4ub9oKwdM

I'm not aware of an "art car" class with any of the sanctioning bodies, but what I don't know about land speed racing would fill the internet.

Looks like a time only car.

One mans trash is another mans treasure..how fast have you been and in what..lets see which it is..

[Bville701]

It takes a lot of hard work, time, and money to race a car/bike on the salt. Anybody that can accomplish making a pass on the salt is alright with me. I may not like the way his car looks, but 146 MPH is not slow in my book. Great job!

That car ran for time only. No record recorded. I got to take a close look at this at WOS as I inspected it in tech. Its a turd but had a healthy engine in it. The cage was built with 4" 1/4 wall square tube. Neat but dont know if worth the money to do?

Neat.  Maybe an Art Car class would be a good thing!

The quote I've always heard is "Go fast, Be safe, Have fun."

I saw the car, and my wife chatted with them when she took some pics.  What was clear is that the team did all three, with emphasis on the "Have fun".  They ain't stupid.

Right on..   made it to Bonneville, paid the entry fee, passed the inspection procedure, ran a few passes and had a great time doing it..never will be in a record book and most likely doesn't care either.

Good for them.

This is what passes for "art car" in Portland.

So the USFRA's SpeedWeek would be the best bet for a group of road racers who want to find out who the top dog would be on the salt?  Our cars should meet tech for the 150 club and since it is a budget based sanctioning body I doubt anyone would exceed the 159 mph limit.
