No, the Burkland 411 car above is not my car, but since it has run 450 mph and currently holds the top speed record for a piston driven car at 417.020 mph (10-04) it will be here until mine is. ....( Copy of the time slip for the Burkland car )

...................-- We are happy to announce that we will be using water injection --

.....................-- On Hooley's 241 mph Stude from Snow Performance in 2007 --

Some hopefully very useful information:

1. .Tom Burkland...-- A lot of good info here for the car builder.

2. .Spreadsheets for HP, RPM's, etc....-- Inlet Scoop Size, HP needed to go a certain speed, RPM's at different speeds in different gears, etc. I've developed these spreadsheets from information I've obtained and I won't claim they are correct, but they seem to work for me.

3. Figuring Air Inlet ("scoop") Size -- Some guide lines on figuring your air inlet size from John Burk and Tom Burkland. Remember you are the final one responsible for what you use.

4. Making an Air Inlet Scoop -- for a LSR car. Here is how I made a metal scoop for a comp coupe car.


5. LSR Chassis Setup Sheet --Print out some of these sheets

for your car that JohnSchell made to track chassis changes.

Thanks John.
