Finally after months of endless days and nights the Goldenhawk was loaded and taken to the Bonneville Speedweek #62. This is the result of a great team of volunteers and donor sponsors. The core team was made up of some of 2009 Salt team and some new faces. Those that didn't go this year contributed in other ways to make it possible to make runs on "The great white dyno".
The results were not what we expected in the speed department however, the car as a whole is now manageable and really easy to pilot.
Speaking of Pilots, Werner Sprenger, worked many hours and donated equipment and parts as usual this year. Although he is standing by awaiting the testing to be completed before he makes his licencing runs, he has pasted all the cockpit and bailout tests so as soon as it is safe to run he will be working toward his first 200mph club Red hat.
I will report in detail our ramp up to Bonneville and the results in the coming days. We have video which Brian Beesley is editing so we can upload it for you to see.
Thank you to all the persons sending me their photos from Bonneville, and If you have more please send them to me, at goldenhawkracing@yahoo.ca
