Hi all , just back from Bonneville in Utah we had a fantastic result coming home with 2 land speed records in the V/4 Vintage Four , Streamliner Classes running in Blown Gas as well as Blown Fuel with a top speed on a 3 mile pass of 240 mph. The engine block is a 1929 Ford Model A 4 cylinder originally 35 Hp that our team owner Pete Aardema and crew chief Kevin Braun have modified for racing complete with tubo charger making 9 lbs of boost and 360 Horse power to the wheels. The car or Streamliner Pete , Kevin and I built in 2010 all home built . We have been racing Bonneville and the El Mirage lake bed since 2001 and by the end of the season with luck have about 18 different speed records in 2 cars. Spirit of San Diego 831 , 1929 Model A Roadster , Shortys 834 , 1934 Ford , 3 Window Coupe and the Streamliner. All the thanks to team owner Pete Aardema , crew chief Kevin Braun , Tony Cortez , Dennis Lefstein and all the rest that have supported us in our quest for speed. We run again on sept. 16th , Oct. 21 and last meeting of the year Nov. 10-11 at the El Mirage dry lake bed.

Extremely bad ass!

 

I was there both Saturday and Sunday and with my exceptional luck managed to miss you both days. Awesome achievment with an A block; we hope to hear more about it in the press reports like H4H4.
Fearless

 

What's that?

 

is this the same pete Aardema that had a FIRE a few years ago??? looked like he lost 100+ engines most had one off custom heads designed by Aardama

 

Yes it is. During one of the San Diego county wild fires he lost a lot of stuff including a 34 three window, a 4 cyl Scat powered motorcycle, several engines, his shop and all his tools, equipment, shop. Oh, he lost his house too.

Needless to say, he's recovered well, with a beautiful new house overlooking the San Diego Wild Animal Park and a shop that's better than ever.

 

Congrats on the record. Thanks for taking us along on the record run, that was fun to watch..
