This car is being build to go 200 MPH in August at Speed week. Forgive the shitty pics, I think I had the camera on the wrong setting. Jerry Kugel's Daughter will be piloting the car for the record setting run. Powered by a forged crank/rods/piton AFR headed LQ9 with a 2300 TVS @ 25 psi The motor was set in on Thursday and the show started Friday so its not 100% done.

Ya think?!? Dunno bout u, but I for 1, would not pilot an open air car to 200. A closed cabin that I felt safer in & if I felt it was stabile @ speed, hmm...Still crazy, but...

 

love the belt setup you guys should market that set up imo.

 

Think? I Know.....she is crazy!
We have never needed one until now......that is a prototype set up that will make its way to market for the big boost stuff.

 

Indy cars are open.
Cool looking ride, let us know how close it gets to 200.

 

Looks shaweet. I would do it, your in a cage, so you don't have to worry bout lexan stabbing you in the head if ya spill, just dirt and what not

That's open enuff for me. I want metal all around me brother. There's no denying it's a quick piece.

 

Ain't nuthin like blastin accross the salt in a blown roadster!! What class? Just off the top of my head it looks like C/BSR. Good choice, I know Joe Law blew the AA/BSR to something close to 270. Can't remember what Thacker and Shine ran theirs in. I know the AA/BFR record is somewhere near 300. The Kugel's have TONS of experience at the salt, so I'm sure she'll get her hat.

 

friggin awesome!

 

FYI, I never did update this....The car went 201 on 6 psi, this was after driving it to the salt from Los Angeles.
