who's game
biting the bullet and going over to the dark side (or is that daft?) for my next project ,yes folks one of those 4 wheeled contraptions ,but to realise this I need at least 1 willing partner in crime ,to share in costs, parts and build tasks ,so anyone who is willing and eager to go 300mph(target) and thinks streamliners are the way to do it ,get in touch so we can sort out details

Gee Gary, you should try RSVP.com.
Male, GSOH, : Looking for partner for long term relationship. Must like spending all their money and time on something that will show no financial return but some potential kudos amongst a very small community of like minded people.
Tyre smokers need not apply.
etc etc

just a tiddler ,H and I class, maybe G ,mostly based around motorcycle parts and technology,check those classes and records in the SCTA it will give you some idea of what can be achieved ,I will run it as a 3 wheel motorcycle sans body to test the ideas and soundness of design , I have many of the bits and peices to proceed already and have started on the frame , no doubt I will have many questions
Cheers

I saw the costella streamliner at Bonneville when he was running a twin turbo flathead. Very interesting car, the frame doesn't look too special but when the body goes on its looks like s@x on wheels.

shape decided
wheel layout is decided and body shape ,a 1/10 scale model made and now a full scale mock up is under way ,due to the shape and driver location and clearence needed ,a rather unique driver position is called for which will need some out of the square thinking to make it all work ,so far costs are very low ,mostly timber for the full scale mock up , working on getting all the radii worked out for pipe bending ,cricky that DOM tube stock is bloody expensive , will be initially running a 1000cc M/C motor in fuel and blown fuel so that makes it I class , using some conservative Cd # and frontal area ,in blown form it should see 300 mph (fingers crossed )

Jeezz Gary, have you thought of getting a few inches removed from your legs?, that would make things a little easier ?
