Attilla's Specialty is in the movies.





As you can see from these pictures, Attillia Vaski is also working on the cameras for the tail section. One facing forward and one facing back from the struts on the tail. (Which were thoughtful designed by Darryl Murphy of MURPHY AIRCRAFT when he hand built the piece).
The third camera will be in cockpit and aimed at the driver or out the forward of the canopy. Special thanks to Attillia and his co-worked who are suppling the camera for the tail.
note: Also the tail will have a strobic/type light to attract attention at the shows and while being transported on the trailer/float/display.





Duct tape is for fabricators!!


RED GREEN SAYS Duct tape is for fabricating everything!!
However, after thinking it over I will seek the services of a welder tomorrow, but aside fron that the intake and turbo are ready. The exhaust will need some attention as I plan to change the operation and fix the lower part so that the upper half will flex.
Watch for it on the days to come. Not this may be after the dyno day, but before Nic Boos begins to air brush all the air work on the car.



Date line Sunday night late....14 June, 6 weeks to Speedweek
HAPPINESS IS A SUCCESSFUL COMPOUND MITER FOR THE NITROUS MANIFOLD!

Tail is ready to go!



Finally, after much measuring and fitting and aquiring parts the tail plate is complete, until the car goes 300mph and then the top (second) Parachute will be installed.
Note the 110volt receptacle for the a/c and the 12volt quick connects for the booster and battery charger as well as the main power kill switch. We will apply the decals etc after we dyno the car.

Dean Culchesky joins the battle for Bonneville Record




Dean is one of the people who have been following on the blog and answered my cry for help and assistance. Dean is an avid motorcyclist on his way to a concert in LA aboard his beautiful and beloved VICTORY "scooter". He is also attempting to round up a tow truck for the trip to Bonneville and to the various venues we have booked in the fall.
Good luck and a safe ride to you!

Randy

COOL-IT HIGHWAY GROUP LIVES UP TO ITS NAME


Steve Zaeri and Adam Gibbard and the professional technicians HIWAY GROUP were on hand at 1244 Riverside Road in Abbotsford,BC to present GOLDENHAWK Team with the 12v electric water pump for the Cummins B Series. These pumps are great for truckers and racers alike as they save valuable horsepower and that gives greater speed or more mileage.

Attilla Vaski makes tail fairing.

Attilla Vaski made a mold and pulled a new tail fairing. He was not satisfied with the outcome of the the original, because during the modification procedures at the body shop it began to crack at the crest. Attilla is very fussy and very big guy so..... what Atti wants Atti gets!!!

NITROLUBE - Seeing Is Believing - Amazing lube products

Thank you Jason Rite of NITROLUBE for conducting the friction tests on all the available high performance and standard lubes.
His products are by far the best for lubricity.
The fuel lube is a new and very interesting product. I am hoping Gordon Reid and the team at NW FUEL will perform a test on the pump dyno to see what a difference it makes in the diesel fuel. When they do I would like to film and document the results, this product will change the diesel fuel burning world.
All the rest are slightly better that stock cheap oils but NITROLUBE is the only lube products we shall put in the Goldenhawk, grease fuel transmission and engine.
By the way Geoff Bardall of COLT CAMS was the first to show test results on the cam lobe test. It was him that sold me on NITROLUBE.
Be sure to check their website, on our links.
