Inspiration: George became interested in Bonneville racing four years ago, and it has become his passion. This is a new interest for a guy who was always a hot rod purist. He wanted a 21st Century salt flat racer based on a tiny hemi engine.

Purpose/Theme: Project started over the engine, which was a 4-cylinder hemi, 178CI motor producing 1200 hp

Time to Build: Intense build schedule. Developed a drag coefficient of .20, which is less than a GT-40 or a C6 Corvette

Drivetrain: High-tech components

Paint & Body: Custom fabrication by Rad Rides by Troy, including suede finish paint with full roll cage

Booth: Gear Vendors
