A well done race truck. I visited their pit today. Very impressed with the efforts to fight off the first time out gremlins. Good luck guys..

Re: The XO/PP VA HAMB Special is off to Bonneville!
This is from this morning, photo by winduptoy on HAMB.
I really love the name they have for the truck, Virginia HAMB Special, ya know, like Virginia Ham, something they are sorta proud about!

Re: The XO/PP VA HAMB Special is off to Bonneville!
Thanks for all your support guys - we fought it right up until the #4 cylinder smoked and that closed the book on us for this year. ...

Re: The XO/PP VA HAMB Special is off to Bonneville!
A very valiant try Tom and team. Always a learning curve when trying to go fast. But 5 stream liners going over 400 MPH is a new high. Today should be interesting, since it is the last day. I will be listening to the live broadcast. Thanks for the updates Tom. Mark.

Re: The XO/PP VA HAMB Special is off to Bonneville!
Got interested in this adventure while Jimmy's Engine and John were building my flathead, and followed the thread on the HAMB. Took about a year of tinkering to get it tuned just right, - so by that standard, you are off to a promising start.
If you take another run at it in the next year or so, I will sponsor a major engine component. All you have to do is put a decal from my daughter's store on the truck! I am sure many or your fans would rush in to Williamsburg Market Square to buy a pair of high fashion shoes. |
