Headed to The Ohio Mile June 6th

We had a fantastic time at World of Speed, managing to put the Rampage into impound and back up new records (twice). The old record was 105.8mph.

Our first 2 runs resulted in a new record of 130.2 mph.

Then, we took it back to the pits, did a little wrenching, and bumped our own record up to 135.003 mph.

Bonneville is an experience like none other. As hot rodders, this is one of those "Mecca of Speed" locations.

STeve.

Aye! always good fun to catch up with fellow diesel nutters, your Rampage looks great.

Here's a shot I took of your Rampage going through inspection.

Got a break down or list for all the classes with descriptions?

I really want to build something to do this with and I would like to use my 93 Ford F150 as a start for the project. Whether it will be diesel or not I'm not sure but I would like to build something. Wilmington is only 25 minutes from my home town in Ohio...

Here's a link to the ECTA (East Coast Timing Association) land speed racing page.

I know that Ohio isn't quite East Coast, but they carried the name when the moved from Maxton.

As far as updates on my truck, I'm going with a bigger injection pump and turbo for the 1.5L engine, and putting together an engine for the next higher class (2 liters). We will run the "enhanced" 1.5L at Ohio in June.
