Bonneville - in-car video

[dieselgeek]

I was able to set up a couple small/cheap cameras inside a customer's Bonneville car this week on the salt.

Before I forget - HUGE thanks to John Beck (ProMachine) for helping me convince the owner to run the correct fuel. We picked up 5mph with no changes other than switching to appropriate fuel (versus what the event fuel supplier suggested we run).

Here's that pass, 232mph qualifying against a 224mph record in A/Production. Engine is a Ray Barton 498" Hemi. FAST XFI and Dashlogger. Not a real big fan of the Dashlogger as it killed our logs on our fastest pass at 242mph.

Nice job. The driver certainly looks relaxed!

What fuel did you end up using?

The 114 octane equivalent. We probably could have stepped it down another notch but this felt safe and the car seemed to run good. Congrats on your record!


A couple other vids on youtube, both from the long end of the course. Good audio that we don't get to hear from the push truck.
