Oh yes he does Cookey, I have a contract with SWMBO that I am allowed to drive up to 200mph but no faster so I plan on getting that little red hat, but only just! (then exploring other classes...) RevH+ Cookie, I have some Cad stuff for you, I just keep forgetting to bring it in to work to send it t...

I agree with that logic David. If you are under constant acceleration the liquid will naturally move backward, on braking; forward (assuming a reasonably level base), and when passing the hole the air rushing past should help pull it out. Clearly a steeper gradiant would help ensure getting liquids ...

I'd be using steel too, strong, heavy, cheap and low. Go as thick as you can handle, Norm Hardinge has what looks like 10mm steel plate on the bottom of his rod. We have 5mm as a brace and intrusion guard on the bottom of our tank, then we have the thin aluminum sheet of the bottom of the tank itsel...

Paul, the So-Cal GM bellytank had the same idea for their mark one unit but after testing they resorted back to the Goodyear Landspeeds for their mark 2 car. Whether this was because of rules or what I don't know but they trumpeted them pretty loudly when they started so it must have been a good rea...

Looks slippery but I simply cannot get over how agricultural they are up close.

Excellent news Cookey, the more tanks the better I reckon.

Not sure if they are real tanks or casts.

Excellent work Cookey and all involved in setting up the tracks. GPS track brilliant, imagine this years event without it? Its addition does hold some risks we definately need to minimise. I am in the building industry for which you have you have to cater for the lowest common denominator and in the...

I have one hour left at work then off home to finish packing. woohoo.

See you all there.

And for those who can't make it this year... I ... well you...
