Hanging at Bonneville, setting land speed records.
Hey guys. Got to go land speed racing with Hondata this year. They just logged a 217mph run in their RSX. Neat experience. Will post up more later, on my phone so short post. Craig

Kick Doug in the dick, Craig. Tell him JD loves him.
Don't let Matt see you inflicting sterility on Doug, though, he's a nice enough guy and I wouldn't want him to be scarred for life. |
Re: Hanging at Bonneville, setting land speed records.
Still at Bonneville. Hondata's RSX has logged a 228Mph run, and we are adding nawz for tomorrows runs. It's amazing how much additional hp it takes to go just a little faster at these speeds.
a 150shot will prob get us less than 10 additional mph. His wifes jdm crx has logged a 180mph run, and is running NA. I'll be sure to post up when I get back to the shop. |

Is their lawyer there with them?

Re: Hanging at Bonneville, setting land speed records.
It takes less HP now to go faster than it did back in the day. Our car's are significantly more aerodynamic now-a-days than they were 50 years ago.

HASport/Hondata Insight K20 started to tighten up, Brian didn't have a spare.
Doug broke Thawley's record but was pedalling it, so his wife could also get into the two club. Notes from a few days ago......... 8-19 • Doug Macmillan (co-owner of Hondata) ran a qualifying speed of 217.496 yesterday in his G-BGCC RSX (2-liter, blown, gasoline, competition coupe). Return/record run this morning was 225.xxx So that's another Honda door-slammer in the 200mph club. • His wife Miriam set a record of 180 in a CRX (running against Doug's NA record from last year). • Doug's going to switch classes (which means removing some streamlining stuff and running the stock nose) to go after my G-BG/ALT record of 203mph. If nothing breaks, he's going to crush it. • John Romero is there with a 1.5-liter turbo Civic (the AEM Civic) looking for 200mph. He's been well over 190 before, so its doable... • Brian Gillespie (from Hasport) is there with a K20 powered Insight. Sadly, his motor tightened up on one of his rookie runs and he doesn't have a spare. "Here's the Hasport K20a powered Insight. Brian was on a 140mph rookie run when the engine got tight. With no spare, he hung out to spectate for a day and then went home. Talking to him on the phone, he said he thought a completely stock K20a would be strong enough to reach the ~160mph he needs to take the G/GT record." Attachment 15258 This was bound to happen: I am no longer a Bonneville record holder. Doug Macmillan (of Hondata) yesterday, beat my G-BGALT record of 203.009 with a two-run average speed of 208.646mph. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Or a better friend. He set a record on Tuesday of 221.652 in a different class. Bewildered, I asked him if the aero changes for the ALT class had really cost the car 13mph? "No" he said. "I was peddling it." But why, I asked, you should have buried it. "I wanted to leave something in it so Miriam (his wife) could raise the record and get in the two-club." Miriam got one record on Tuesday, but lost her CRX's bellypan in a qualifying run after that. With pan repaired, she got sideways on the following morning's record run and pulled the shoot to straighten everything out and abort the run. Last I heard, Miriam's still working on that 2nd record and Doug has moved on to a third. Thawley – former Bonneville record holder Small world us damn gearheads! |
