Yes, has been mentioned before, see http://forums.tipec.net/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1171 I expect this will be Brett's next approach, if the nitrous doesn't make his car go fast enough ![]() |

Hi ![]() No, I would never run a Jet Car...for a very good reason ![]() A friend of mine designed and drove the First Jet Car in the Uk... We (Top Fuel Racers) all told him he was nuts... Unfortunately, we were right.... I was there on the first time it ran , and helped him fit the fiberglass Funny Car body on it... He then went on the run (SantaPod) and the turbine blew a rotor and it took his head off ![]() The major design flaw was the he sat BESIDE the turbine.... Personally I still think its a major design flaw, and that configuration is still used today with "Fireforce"...a modern day Jet car.... All the best Brett ![]() |
