Converted my G/BFR Bonneville Salt flats roadster into a drag car. Running a Hilborn injected small block on Alcohol now, but we are building a 354 injected Chrysler for it. Currently holds the G/BFR record at Bonneville at 210.881mph.
 
Cool ride, what did it run, couldn't tell or hear ?

Do you have any video of the Bonneville passes ?
I'd like to see them too...

I'm not up on Bonneville stuff what does G/BFR stand for ?
class etc. ?
G {?} would maybe class weight I'd guess
BFR ? Blown Fuel Roadster {wild guesses}

I'll find a video of it making a pass. G is the motor size. We run a 4 cylinder Ecotec. 122 cubic inches with a turbo making 32 lbs of boost and makes over 900hp. You are exacly right Blown Fuel roadster.

We also drove it from Pomona, CA to Bonneville, UT during the World Finals in October and went 207mph on the first pass. Got pulled over just outside Las Vegas.

Very cool thanks for sharing...

looking forward to seeing the video too

Yeah I figured the G was some form of weight or engine class/CI etc.
or something along those lines...
The other BFR was just a educated guess...LOL
 
Again, not a great video and the record has been broken by Speed Demon but this is the best run I've ever seen. Burkland streamliner with twin blown Donavans. 415mph with a 430mph exit speed!

 
I need to go back to Bonneville again...
Never ran there but have a couple friends that did...
Long hot dry weeks...LOL

Thanks for sharing the videos
