Thread: Aerodynamics at 1000MPH

what do you mean by a twin engine blown streamliner with one motor??? were you only running with one engine in a twin engine chassis??

I am not planning on setting any class record---just running as fast as I can in a Cobra bodied car and see how close to 300 I can get---

Jerry, Sorry I didn't explain the one engine concept. We only ran the rear motor. Disconnected the front driveline. Not sure what kind of modifications you are planning but check out SCTA - Home Page if you haven't yet. Great article you posted. Have you seen Andy Green break the speed of sound at Black Rock. If not I can post it. Very cool.

Todd--I knew what you meant--it was just to point out that those things are done--

I really am glad that you got on here as I have been chasing down info on the links from some of your stuff.

I know that there are different classes of speed and I figure I can get over 200 in my old firebird prostck chassis before I start trying to go that fast in a 90 inch car-

I have been in racing for quite a while and Bonneville is just something that I would like to do---

And welcome aboard--

Bringing this back as it resembles the Land Speed Record (Sound Barrier) just posted by Pepi
