BYU electric streamliner at Bonneville

Some last pics from me taken at the Bonneville Speedway "World of Speed" event last weekend.

It was silent. It was fast:

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.
