Event Coverage Spectre Streamliner (cad power)

I really wanted to see this car have a full p*** but I left Bonneville on monday morning.This beauty had ran twice but had shut it down pretty early.I havnt seen much talk about this on the Bonneville threads so I was wondering if they have fixed some problems or were they still wrenchin? I think this car is stunning and I love how it is under Cad power.

 

Cad 500 with a stock block and crank if I remember correctly. Thats impressive.

 

yeah, any updates? here's the old thread:

One of the Bonneville pictures threads here has a picture of the block after several rods were caught trying to jump ship. I don't know if that was the 500 or the 472, but which ever, it's done for.

August 16, 2011: Spectre Caddy motor with connecting rods that were afraid of the dark, so they opened a hole to get some sunlight.

 

They'd just go to any old junk yard and pick another whole engine. Could only be $200, $300, right?

 

Just read on landracing.com that they were on their 4th motor this week.

 

In one of their trailors they had 2 or 3 of those engines at least that I saw.After their first run I pretty sure they had some damage on the rear end,at least that is what it looked like.So if they are on engine # 4 then they must have ran this morning ? What a shame

 

I hope these guys had better results today.I couldnt find any updated results for this streamliner.
