[TPR] NORC & New wheels

Sat May 25 16:46:44 PDT 2013

Hi All,

Bonneville and the One Mile pavement events have been my passion for a few years . . .

Bloomberg set a record @ 212ish in a 302 Pantera - 3 or 5 miles.

Darryl J. runs a lot of cubes in his beautiful car and runs mile events.  180 something is his best run.  All the research I've done indicates at least 800 wheel hp to achieve 200 in a mile.  Given a good run and lots of traction.

So, touching 200 is one thing, making a 200mph run in  a mile is something else.

As Steve says, there are a few other things to worry about along the way.

Good luck, I'm rooting for you!

David in Durango

        Step 1: Install a 600 cube Ford NA motor or build something supercharged - you need about 700+ HP to bust past 200...

        Step 2: weld those breathers down :-)

        There will be a lot of other items that rear their ugly heads going to 200+...

          If you're looking to run unlimited in the Pantera, I think you've got a lot of work to do.  I don't recall all the details (I think they're in a POCA newsletter or Profiles somewhere), but there is a team who did Bonneville in their Pantera and exceeded 200 MPH.  They didn't have a lot of body mods as I recall but they had to have some serious horsepower.

          Is it Daryll Adams that has the modified Pantera he's been running at the Mojave One Mile?  I  believe he's been approaching 200 MPH but again, lots of horsepower.

          There -is- info out there if you want to challenge a speed north of 165 which it sounds like you are considering.  How soon do you want to attack it?

                  Snow Job....If you run Unlimited you will have to run behind me!
                  Looks to me like from that photo you took of me being scooped up by the snow blow proves once again I am invincible.

                  Yea, bring it on!

                  PS  I just heard from Doug Mann (D-Mann) who said Joe Moore tried to call him

                  Just got back from NORC, a 6300 mile trip. What a time. MD was a great mentor and certainly knows the ropes. 

                  MD was instrumental in me getting a new set of wheels. The only problems with it are the steering rack is shot and the tires. Talk about a problem getting tires for  Pantera's  15" wheels. I'm open to suggestions.  Here she is!!!!

                  I just was in touch with Gail at Silver State and she said I would be able to run in the unlimited class.

                  Now we all know that MD might exaggerate at times but be prepared for the SNOW JOB!!!! 

                  More to come.

                  Mark
