Bonniville in a Model A

[quickchange]

Just a quick note to let you know we ran 83mph in Lickity split , a stock bodied 31 coupe with our flat head 4 banger on the salt yesterday, about 9-10mph under the record, but only running carbs, The blower sat in the box for maybe next time , The coupe with owners engine, OHV etc set a new land speed record ,My special thanks to all who helped make a dream come true, Pos some picture once back home , PS I think our Quickchange rear may have helped, ??/ Derek from a hot Nevada,

[zzlegend]

Looking forward to some pics Derek. I did not make it this year and now I am kicking my ars. By the way, was this the same coupe that Tonya drove for a couple of years? Mark.

[quickchange]

Mark, YES, Salt packed up today, lots of spin outs & overs . 4 courses closed at once yesterday, Missed you there . Derek

Congrats, on the run. have had this on my list of things to do. Question, I have a stopck body 31 tudor, and see my avatar for other add on equ. I have had my car up to 96 mph on Interstate running 2 miles but I was at a rolling 30 mph when I started. If I found someone that really knew how to fine tune my car do you think it would have a chance at the flats. thanks for your info. Have fun modelA tony lafayette,LA

Derek, I have been listening to the live stream reporting from Bonneville. And yes,,,,,,,,,,more spins and crashes this year then the past few years. I heard the courses were some what wetter than normal and some grooving on the number 1 course. I have to get back on a crew. Missed being there this year after 9 years straight. Mark.

Great news Derek, my Dr. told me too much salt wasn't good for the heart!

[quickchange]

Justin Hi, My Doc told me too go do it, Jude was not too happy but once the salt is in the veins it stimulates the heart,??/ Mark yes the salt was wet & really went off on our last run . After tune up ran 3 mile slower , Think an adjuster may have come loose as detected a slight miss at mile two, Tony Depends on your engine as too which class, Best get a rule book & read , Next year, Well need a vehicle 1st, plus some sponcership, I have a diamond block B under construction, with a MP90 blower attached, F&S ignitions, Main Freight, Harvey world travel, Really helped out , Many others including the coups owner ,Ron, Jim, Don, Kiwi MIKE, Andrew, Gary, plus others there made it possible, Now have my ticket to drive,
Could be a large group from NZ next year, So if going book your gold plated room now, & live the dream its worth it, If you can,t afford it just send your $$$$ to me,
Thankyou America,

Derek ran 86 on his first run, 83 after we tuned on it! 86 is not too bad in a full bodied Model A!

Jim, did you and Ron go and take the belly tank?

So, what was the new record?

[PetesPonies]

pics !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jim Brierley]

ZZlegend, We went but did not take the car. Neither Ron nor I had engines ready. Both of our records, blown gas and blown fuel, were blown away by Aardema. both are now well over 200! Its a wonder what money and a little flexing of what the classes were designed for will do! We'll still run as that is what we like, but it takes the dream of entering the 2-Club away.

[zzlegend]

I understand Jim. Best of luck in the future. I will have to get out and visit Ron. Its been a while.

[quickchange]

The family ran 115 with the ohv for a record in that class, Great folk as are all the folk that made my hillbilly drive come true, Looking forward to next year. Pictures will have to wait till home, once the salt gets in the veins will be hard to remove,

So out of pure curiosity, where can you find the rule book? I would be interested in seeing the classes
