That engine bay is awesome isn't it!

Is there a date set for the record attempt?

 

[TriumPhil]

Old news, Mark. The date came and went back in September. Terrible track conditions (rains) prevented the record attempts.

 

[kaivalagi]

Is there any idea on another date for an attempt though? Is it a case of waiting until spring now?

 

[TriumPhil]

Probably until next summer...

Had plans in place to go to Bonneville this year. Two consecutive events cancelled. The salt doesn't exactly drain well.

 

[Battersea]

Why do they say displacement is 2970cc combined (1485cc per engine) :?:

 

[evanr]

They've been destroked to achieve under 3000cc all in, for the class they wish to enter into.
