More Bonneville shots

I can't find the cord to download pics from my camera, so here are a few more from my phone.

A shot of aerohead's car just after he arrived to top-off and check FE: driving posted speeds of 55-70mph, steady cruise, he said he got 32.25 mpg on the way to Bonneville:


A car in the 39hp Challenge [EDIT: 36hp]. I liked the wheel skirts. Thanks to Metromizer for making the BBQ invite with the VW folks possible for the ecomodders:


This Team Vesco streamliner reached 320mph on its first run. It claims to be the fastest wheel-driven car with a record top speed of 470mph:


And here is a shot of the dash of my wife's 2010 Subaru Forester (auto trans) showing peak temp outside going across southern Nevada and my peak ave FE too):

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
