This is not the last post, but it is the milestone I have been pressing for in the project. It is now time to remove the mock up engine and send it to be bored, balanced and blueprinted, to be installed later with the twin Holset turbochargers for the 330mph attempts at the worlds fastest diesel record. The power train frame will go to APEX FINISHING in Burnaby for a fresh powder coat. The cockpit will be the focus for a week or so and then the final assembly can begin. The Cummins 3.9 turbocharged race engine awaits at Piers Harry's equipped with Colt cam, Zoltan ported head, Peak Diesel parts, Dynomite injectors ,Hamilton push rods,NX nitrous Fluidampr, ARP studs, all the good stuff! All donated by the sponsors. Please email me if you need directions to build a mega power plant for your project.
It is at this time I would like to express my gratitude to Werner Sprenger and Kevin Knox who have stuck in for the long haul of the last 16 long months. I can see the toll it is inflicting on them and yet they complain not!
I would also like to say thank you to the approximately 40 sponsors who have donated time, assets and money to the project, asking nothing in return. To the persons, owners and volunteers who have worked many days and weekends to build the car, thank you. To the media who have reported the project to the world and to the fans all 23,000 who visited the website and pass emails around the globe, thank you. To the estimated 200,000 blog visitors thank for you encouragement, and please keep forwarding the blog post notices for your friends to enjoy.
I too am exhausted but happy to have all the effort, enthusiasm and support of everyone.
This is truly a tribute to the great flying team
the Royal Canadian Air Force
" GOLDEN HAWKS"
Congratulations! That Cummins engine is much smaller than what I work on but ours don't make things go as fast as you hope to! It will be great to see one make a vehicle really move!
ReplyDeleteHello Randy, Werner and Kevin.
ReplyDeleteI haven't always been in touch, but I have been keeping up with your escapades on the Goldenhawk.
I just have to say, you guys are awesome. Can't wait to see what the future brings for the new ride.
Randy, how the heck are you? I look back almost weekly at our pics from last year at Bonneville and can't wait to see your ride out there doing it's thing.
