What If Build Ideas...for Land Speed Racing

TT5.9mag said

Couple things Ive learned at bonneville,
1. Get a rule book and build to a class. Don’t just put together a car and hope it fits in somewhere. Be very specific.
2. If all of your math says you need 800hp to go 200mph, build 1000hp.
3. Forget about saving weight (weird I know but on the salt the weight is actually beneficial)
4. Be extremely diligent about saftey, around 160mph things get serious and if it goes bad, it goes really bad quick.

Bonneville is a magical place.

Thank you. Yes I have a rule book already. Mostly just learning right now. This discussion was what the masses thought was the best way to make the HP for extended runs needed. Do you run a car there? That yours in the pic? I would love to discuss things with you as they come up. I don't believe my current build would be a good fit, but who knows. Also, there is no way in Competition Coupe or Modified Sports would I have the budget to compete for a record. Just would like to make some passes someday. Starting with learning and asking questions.
