SPEEDWEEK IN ONE WEEK!!!!!!!!!

Hey Followers!!!!!!

Sorry it's been a little bit since we have added more here!  We have been digging in deep to get the car and everything needed for the car ready so we can get ourselves out to SpeedWeek to set another record! ;) 

As I write the vacuum distillation is happening on our algal biodiesel so that it is pristine, perfect, beautiful, ready to rock, etc. etc.!!  We should be in the 1.35L ballpark for algal biodiesel ready to go to Bonneville!! 
 
We have also been bust our hides to get a transport trailer done as last year was miserable flat towing the car especially with it being so wet last year.  We ended up being able to get the trailer done for pennies!  It has a winch that lifts the trailer so the car will load easily and the same winch also loads the car on for us!  This year is going to be 1000x nicer!  We will also be able to use the battery on the trailer to start the streamliner as we do not run a battery on board the car rather than having to use the pickup anymore.



Last week we were down at Utah Chassis and Machine working on the streamliner getting things finished up and ready to pass technical inspection and be ready to run down the salt!  We were able to get the firewall back in the car and modified to work with the changes over this past winter.  The flywheel shield has also been modified and is remounted in the car.  We also were able to get the throttle and manual fuel shut off finished for the car.  Still a little bit left to do to get the clutch handle etc working smoothly and nicely and we also have to make some modifications to the fire system to get it back in place.  Still some work to do but we will get back down to SLC and get it finished up so we can see you all ON THE SALT!


We also really want to thank Sunrise Designs for all their help in getting our vinyl done and in our hands!  They have been awesome to us and have taken care of everything we have needed!!  Please check them out if you are needing vinyl done!  We will get the vinyl put on the car next week and we will be ready to rock!
