Instrument Suitable for the Hawk!

Werner has been preparing the instrument panel so that we can POP it in and out. This week he is on a cruise to the Caribbean. Have fun and enjoy the R&R.

Best wishes from the team.

2008 SPEEDWEEK BEGINS in the morning.

Monday morning the 60Th Speedweek will commence on the Bonneville Salt Flats. There will be good friends, great people and very fast vehicles and sadly we will not be counted amongst them. As you all know we are not funded by any large cash sponsor but rather a lot of great companies and individuals who donate time and materials to the GOLDENHAWK project . Therefore it is not always possible to meet deadlines the way some would like, but we are very near to completed and hope to make the World finals in October.
THANKS TO THE SPONSORS AND CREW FOR ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS, especially Kevin Knox, Werner Sprenger and the Aggressive Tube Bending guys.
My favorite Studebaker.

Fresh Air system by Diversions

The progrogess of the Driver Breathing Systems is shown here. The filters take in fresh air from the tail section of the Goldenhawk and the blower pressurizes it with the two speed squirrel-cage fan. Then sends it to the cockpit. I will show you the custom fittings that Kevin made with his FDM rapid prototype machine when take the photos. Very slick!!
