salt flat 260 2+2

[slam_dat_sun]

Here is a local car that you will not see going down the road no time soon

 

 

 

 

so what ya think of this datusun breaking 300 mph on the booneville salt flats and it does hols 6 records

[]2eDeYe]

Looks like it went so fast, the back end couldn't quite keep up. :D

[slam_dat_sun]

thats exactly how fast it went

[Moisabamf]

the only reason a car should be that long, is if it breaks the speed of light and begins to gain an infinite length:thumbdown:

That car is that long so they can drive it like they stole it lol

[Edz280zx]

stability of a longer wheel base is a good thing at 300mph

[slam_dat_sun]

Your correct , I use to run a IHRA pro mod dragster and they are stretched for stability

heres Oz's Z back in 1990

 

 

were working on getting it back to the salt flats, its been sitting in his garage since then

[slam_dat_sun]

man thats cool how fast did yall get it up to ? Did you lose control at the end ?

[Skib]

he blew out the rear tire and it sent him into that flat spin :eek:

 

I recall him telling me he hit 236mph?

 

and thats an L6 in there :fu:

 

youl never see one like it, so much crazy stuff on there :eek:

[hoov100]

it suprisingly doesnt take much power to go that fast IRLC. are there any more pics of that spoiler?

[Skib]

it comes down to the areo at high speeds

[hoov100]

from my own personal experience of high speeds, its better to split the air along the side, then to force them up and over and weight is your friend.

Really? Not allowing for any other losses, the power needed just to push through still air, increases as the cube of the velocity. A car traveling at 50MPH might need about 10 hp to do so. At double this speed, 100MPH, it requires 80 hp!! Power is the rate that work is done, so four times the work done in half the time (100MPH) requires eight times the power.

 

To go 200MPH would require almost 650 hp. Not easy.

its easy, depending on what motor you use. But 650 is very reasonable with quite a few motors these days.

I just think that it is a really neat car , and the cool part about it is its just down the road from me :lol:

I don't think it's fair to flat out say a certain hp equates to a certain mph. Gear ratios, drag, power band, tire/wheel size etc... all play an important roll too. Not saying it doesn't take large amounts or anything like that.

 

Skib is that the z running duel injectors and all the other crazy stuff? I think i remember seeing it or one like it on hbz a while ago.

 

I think its odd to see that 2+2 with a drag wheel set up too. Isn't the recipe for success thin wheels with disk hubcaps to reduce drag? You'd think at 300+mph they would be using the basic methodology.

Oz has all kinda of crazy stuff on there, I cant even recall it all. He lives about 15min from me tho, Iv been meaning to call him and go get a close up inspection of it, Ill take notes and get back :D

 

a small group of us NW hybridz'rs are going to be working on getting it back on the salt flats

You should reread the bold portion... :D :lol:

[72240z]

Which said nothing of gear ratios did it? Nor power band.... lol

The car did indeed run wheel disc they just weren't on in this picture

[72240z]

Cool, no engine pics? :-)

 

What engine is even in there?

Well to be honest there is not a engine in it at this time , but it had a 265 ci when it was a runner

[SHADY280]

that car looks like a 1/4 mile car actually, there are quite the articles on having datsun factory drag cars that looked very simmilar to that one. the ones ive found were actually s130 chassis.

[slam_dat_sun]

Yeah but I promise it is a salt flat car , I saw plaques with picks of this car on them . They were plaques presented to the owner for setting some kind of record at the booneville salt flats .
