Hot Rods XO/PP Bonneville project

Saw the truck in impound today. Congrats and good luck tomorrow!

 

T- minus 24 hours to liftoff. Beginning pre launch checklist.

 

Will step it up tomorrow.

 

So it has a nitrous system on it and legal for the cl***?

 

Fuel Cl*** is EASY to run at an SCA BNI meet. You enter it in a Fuel cl*** and don’t have the fuel tank checked or sealed. You’re not required to prove what you are using. You just need to meet the requirements for the speed and maybe the difference between running gas or fuel. There were one or 2 differences when I did it.
I ran nitrous oxide in my GMC 6 stock head 30 years ago. 11-1 engine. I still have the spacer plate intake with fogger nozzles and the solenoids in my stash. No electronics to control the spark. Set a couple of records. Used it until we could feel the rear of the car lift at 150+ mph. Only lost 1 piston on one of the runs. Just thinking of holding the ****on down for over 2 miles still gives me the willies.
My only advice is to add a bigger jet for-the gasoline side than recommended; If you choose to use it.

 

The little Ford engine that could put the XO/FUEL MODIFIED PICKUP

To all the crew members through this journey and those who have supported us I Thank You deeply.
