Geez ,another one ,looks like I may live long enough to see the Aussie streamliner wars :lol: the list is growing longer ,best of luck :wink: I hope you have shares in the reserve bank ,I started on a full blown streamliner 7 years ago ,it got to a rolling chasis stage ,and thats most likely were it will remain , I estimated to finish it and be able to compete with the big boys I would 1. need 150K + and 2.scrap what I had built and start again :cry:

You Gary
I was always going to stay riding open class, its to much fun, was thinking of building a mini streamliner like the 50cc jigger that just ran 133mph at the bub meet, looks like some interesting technology and not to serious on the shpindoolies,,would only build with an offsider riding and having sharing the costs, 250cc would fly,

All those streamliner runs at Bubs were bloody awsome ,but as good as the big boys were ,that 50cc liner was the outstanding achiever :wink: 130+ mph , oh and dave I dont think trying to beat that will be easy or cheap that record stood for 50 years yes 50 years before it was bettered this year Dave I'll stick trying to be the first non streamliner to crack 300 mph as Its never been done ,come to think of it neither has 200mph by a 250cc ,thats another worthy project :wink: :D
