FLATCAD RACING Bonneville 2011 Build

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thanks again to all of the votes and support!

The votes count for 33% of the total 'value' Champion places on the entry. The rankings were based on video views, so it's hard to guess how the views correlated to votes.

Champion will announce the 15 finalist on Feb.18. Thanks to all of YOU, I feel our chances are good.

Regardless of the outcome, we owe a HUGE part of our success and fun to all of you, for the support and encouragement you have provided us.

Thanks again!

Any updates on the project or has the car been shelved?

 

I am also curious.

 

I have been MIA as well but I have tried to contact Buddy a few times and never got a response.

 

There is talk of putting the car back together but it’s currently on hold for now life has gotten in the way the last few years but we have recently had a couple meetings to discuss goin back to bonneville as you all know this is not a cheap endeavor we have been saving money to be able to return to the salt

Any progress on getting back? Anyone talk to Buddy?

 

Hi Tman

yes we have made the decision to make 2023. Dale is starting on the motor soon. Buddy is doing good and I think he finally enjoying Life now

 

GREAT NEWS! I will be at Speedweek with Chick and The Salt Circus roadster this year

 

Good to hear Flatcad is still alive. My teeshirt is about ready to fall apart and will need to order another when they're up and running. Looking forward to more progress on this beyond cool project!

 

I was the first driver and Buddy gave me 4 T shirts. I still have one left. Thanks again.

 

Was that one T-Shirt for every mile you made over on 1?

 

Actually, run 1 was a disaster. The chute didn't open and the brakes failed. Nobody's fault, just too many details at the last minute. The car coasted quite well though....lol
We really did have a great crew. They squeezed 152 out of the car that first year.
