Everyone who is into racing should take a visit to Bonneville sometime in their life. Its a different atmosphere than most other racing. I am a long time friend of Howard Nafzger, and a crew member on his original I gas/fuel streamliner back in the 1980s. That car (448) still holds the FIA records for the class. Howard built a larger version of that car in the early 2000 time frame. He then sold the car to Earl Wooden and then it went to Charlie Nearburg. Its called the Spirit of Rett - and is the fastest single engine unblown car. Spirit of RettPicture of us at Bonneville in the 1980s - Savage (engine), Taebel (crew), Nafzger (owner,builder,driver), Reinbold (crew). We all worked for Big Blue back then. The car was entirely constructed by Howard - all fiberglass and aluminum body panels build in his garage... The nose is fiberglass and the rest of the body is hand formed AL.

The guy who helps me with tuning and dyno services has a buick regal that is a salt car. He has been 212 at maxton and right at 300 on the salt. He is building a long fiberglass thing to take to the salt that has his all aluminum splayed head small chevy and a 114mm precision turbo. I beleive he said it should go over 300 not sure of the class? He keeps trying to get me to go to bonneville with him. I have been to Maxton alot but it was only 1 hr. drive from the house.
One day I will have something cool here.
