Update from day 3 at the Salt. They have repaired the engine. The repair involved replacing a piston, a rod ,injectors & valves. So with the repairs being completed the team did a testing run at 150 mph which went well. So after all of the repairs were completed on the engine internals.Bronze Aussie had another run this afternoon. The engine kept breaking down so the speed wasn't as good as the morning run. The team have changed the distributor cap and other electrical components over to hopefully rectify this situation. It also started raining on the lake later in the afternoon so no more runs were made. The plan is to have another go tomorrow morning. We would like to thank our 2017 major
This year we have been able to organise a phone connection directly to the Salt and we have some updates on the car and the runs it has completed so far. In the first shakedown run the car ran 260mph. As the car has changed class for this year this to Fuel Competition Coupe & Sedan this is a new record for the class. On the Second run the car went off song and Lionel Shut down the engine. Unfortunately the car has holed a piston. The team have enough spares with them and are in the process of putting the engine back together for a run either later today or early tomorrow. As soon as the car is back up and running we will let everyone know how the next run goes. Bronze Aussie thanks the follo
