New Land Speed Record project targets 1,000mph





A new bid to break the world Land Speed Record gathered momentum with the announcement of the specifications for the planned Bloodhound SSC project, based in Bristol, England. The car has gone through 10 design evolutions since October 2008 and the final design has now been agreed. Bloodhound SSC's first attempts at the record, which currently stands at 763mph, will take place on the Hakskeen Pan in Northern Cape Province of South Africa in 2011.

The car is powered by an EJ200 Eurofighter Typhoon jet engine and a rocket engine sitting below it. Bloodhound SSC produces the equivalent of 133,150hp, the power of around 180 Formula 1 cars!

In the original plan, a 200kg (441lb) rocket sat above the jet engine, but not enough thrust could be created to overcome the aerodynamic drag. This led to a 400kg (882lb) rocket being used – but this caused the car to pitch nose-down, destabilizing the vehicle. Engineers found the best compromise to be positioning the rocket below the jet engine.



The car's 3ft-diameter wheels have been made from forged aerospace-grade aluminum to withstand the g-forces required of supporting a 7.3-ton car traveling at 1,050mph. The car will be driven by fighter pilot Andy Green and he has designed the cockpit himself.

One of the project's greatest challenges has been finding a place suitable for the car to make its record attempt. The site needs to be 10 miles long and must have one mile of clear run-off at each end and be firm enough to support the weight of the car. Several locations, including the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, were sounded out using Google Earth.

Hakskeen Pan was eventually found to be the best site; it is a 12-mile track across a perfectly flat dried-up lake. The record attempt is being supported by the Northern Cape Government.

So far, 166 sponsors have signed up to support the project. Public donations in the UK have also totaled more than $227,000, while 2,410 schools have joined the project as part of their education program.

SEMA 2009:Most Outlandish Rides









By James Tate of MSN Autos
Each year, the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) hosts one of the largest automotive equipment and car shows in the country. Held in deliciously decadent Sin City (where else, right?), the SEMA Show has become such a big deal that aftermarket suppliers, tuners, hot-rod builders and even mainstream carmakers wrench tirelessly all year to craft the most elaborate machines they can imagine in hopes of showing each other up at the Las Vegas Convention Center. SEMA 2009 featured some of the craziest custom machinery we've seen to date, including a Subaru STI with tank tracks and a midengine Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Here are our picks for the 10 most outlandish vehicles from the flashiest city on the planet.




Ken Block’s Trax Subaru STI
Subaru has built its reputation on products that are capable on any terrain — including snow and ice. Rally driver Ken Block and DC Shoes took that reputation to extremes by fitting a heavily modified WRX STI with Trax — a tank-tread-like system that gives the car plenty of ground clearance and the ability to conquer everything in its path. Block says the car was built for frolicking around in the backcountry where there are no roads, and we're having a hard time coming up with a car better-suited for that task.

Toyota Tacoma All-Terrain Gamer
We like video games. We like cars. Sometimes, when the product is the Forza or Gran Turismo series, we like it when the two meet. But with the Tacoma All-Terrain Gamer, Toyota has proved just what can go wrong when the auto and digital worlds tango. Looking like a cross between a middle-schooler's daydream and West Coast Customs' latest creation, the gull-wing-equipped truck packs four Xbox gaming systems, plenty of flat-screen TVs and a Monster Energy drink dispenser. There's even a 60-inch flat-panel screen that mounts in the truck's receiver hitch so spectators can watch the gaming action from behind.

Nascar Camping World Truck Series Final 2009 Homestead

TRUCKS: Harvick Wins At Homestead Written by: Tom Jensen
Homestead, FL

Kevin Harvick won the Ford 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the first event of Ford Championship Weekend and the final NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race of the 2009 season.

It was Harvick’s second Truck Series victory in a row, the third of the season and the sixth of his career in 101 starts. Behind Harvick, came Matt Crafton, Colin Braun, Timothy Peters and Todd Bodine

Ron Hornaday Jr., who is his boss’ teammate at Kevin Harvick Inc., clinched his fourth NCWTS championship last week in Phoenix, never led a lap at Homestead and was not a factor. He finished eighth.

All told, it was an easy cruise for Harvick, who qualified third but dominated the race from the outset.

In the final Truck Series race for Roush Fenway Racing, Colin Braun put the No. 6 Con-Way Freight Ford on the pole, just as he did in the season-opening race at Daytona International Raceway.

Kyle Busch started the race from the rear of the field because of an engine change in his Billy Ballew-owned No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra. He passed 10 trucks on the opening lap and seven more on Lap 2, as Braun
led Kevin Harvick and Mike Skinner.

Harvick took the lead on Lap 6, his Georgia Boot Chevrolet Silverado assuming the point for the first time. By Lap 20, Skinner was up to third ahead of Braun, while Busch had worked his way to seventh.

On Lap 27, Matt Crafton took second, bringing Busch with him up to third. On Lap 30, Busch had advanced to second, about six seconds behind Harvick.

The first caution flew on Lap 33, after Shane Sieg tagged the wall in his S&W Services Chevy. That sent the field down pit road for the first time, and when the two rounds of stops were completed, Harvick led Busch, Skinner, Crafton and Johnny Sauter on the Lap 37 restart.

The next yellow came out on Lap 39, after Dan Brode’s Mike Berg Trucking Dodge went around exiting Turn 2.

Just after the restart on Lap 42, Mike Bliss spun out of Turn 4 and onto pit road, just as Busch began pressuring Harvick for the lead. But the track stayed green and Harvick held the point.

On Lap 59, the yellow waved again, this time when Lance Hooper lost a right-front tire and hit the wall in Turn 2.

Busch took fuel only and took the lead on pit road, followed by David Starr, Sauter, Harvick and Tayler Malsam when the track went green on Lap 63.

At Lap 67, the halfway point of the race, Busch led Harvick by 0.698 seconds. Third was Timothy Peters, followed by Skinner, Sauter and Starr.

Harvick went back to the point on Lap 69, his fresh tires giving him a marked advantage over Busch, who was on old tires.

The turning point came on Lap 83, when Busch was forced to pit under green because of a flat right-side tire. To make matter worse, there was an outside tire violation, so Busch was given a pass-through penalty. But he ignored the penalty and was black-flagged. Once he served the penalty, Busch was a full two laps down.

At Lap 100, Harvick was 4.777 seconds up on Peters, with Crafton third, followed by Aric Almirola and Skinner.

Harvick pitted on Lap 115, taking fuel only and briefly turning the lead over to Peters, who made his final stop two laps later. Almirola then took the lead, with Harvick back up to second by Lap 120.

On Lap 122, Almirola made his pit stop, handing the lead back to Harvick. Unfortunately for Almirola, he got busted for speeding on pit road.

With 10 laps to go, Harvick was 4.282 seconds up on Peters. Then it was Crafton, Skinner and Braun. A final caution flew on Lap 129 when Ryan Sieg hit the backstretch wall, with an assist from James Buescher.

Peters stayed out, but Harvick came in and took four tires, as did Hornaday. Peters took the lead, but Harvick lined up second behind him, albeit on four fresh tires.

The order for the green-white-checkered finish was
Peters, Harvick, Bodine, T.J. Bell and Skinner.

The green waved on Lap 134, Harvick taking the lead into Turn 1 to seal the victory.

LE MANS: Automatic Invites Published











11/19/2009 Written by: John Dagys
Chicago, IL The Automobile Club de l’Ouest made the first step in the road to the 2010 Le Mans 24 Hours Thursday, releasing the list of automatic invitations to next year’s twice-around-the-clock classic. Twenty-nine teams have been invited due to their success in various sportscar championships this year.

Peugeot gained three auto invites in total, two from its 1-2 finish at Le Mans last June, and one for its Petit Le Mans victory. (LAT) » More Photos
Team Peugeot Total heads the list with two invites, thanks to their 1-2 finish in this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. The top two finishers in each category last June will have a chance to repeat their fortunes. Class champions in the American Le Mans Series and Asian Le Mans Series also gained entries, as did the top two in the Le Mans Series (plus Michelin Green X Challenge champion) and FIA GT Championship. Teams victorious at the Petit Le Mans were also rewarded entries, but the LMP2 winner is unmistakeably absent from the list.

Dyson Racing scored the P2 win in the rain-shortened enduro at Road Atlanta, but doesn’t gain an automatic entry due to running a 2008-spec rear wing. While given a choice to run the full-size wing from last year or the narrower LMP1-style design, all P2 teams opted for the former, which is no longer legal in Europe. However, questions remain as class champions Lowe’s Fernandez Racing, which ran a 2008-spec rear wing all season, did receive an invite.

Another oddity comes with the Le Mans Series invitations, with GT1 class runner-ups Larbre Competition also not being awarded an entry because it missed one of the five rounds.


It’s expected the majority of the 29 entries will be taken up, with the exception of the now-defunct Lowe’s Fernandez Racing, and GT1 teams such as Corvette Racing, which has moved to the GT2 ranks. Teams not on the list will complete 55-car grid by submitting entry requests between Dec. 21 and Jan. 20, 2010. The final list is usually published sometime in February.

2009 Camping World Truck Series at Phoenix

TRUCKS: Harvick Wins, Hornaday Clinches Written by: Tom Jensen
Avondale, AZ

Kevin Harvick won the battle Friday night, and Ron Hornaday Jr. won the war.

Harvick won Friday night’s Lucas Oil 150 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Phoenix International Raceway, while Hornaday, who drives a Kevin Harvick Inc.-owned truck, clinched his record fourth Truck Series championship with a fourth-place finish behind his boss, Kyle Busch and Aric Almirola.

As evenings go, this one couldn’t have gone better for Harvick, though it sure didn’t seem like it would be early on.

Johnny Sauter started from the pole in his Fun Sand Chevrolet Silverado, and was immediately challenged by Harvick’s Longhorn Chevy. But Harvick got loose and quickly fell back, spinning in oil coming out of Turn 4 and hitting the No. 15 Graceway Toyota Tundra of Aric Almirola to bring out a caution on Lap 8.

Soon after the Lap 13 restart, a familiar face was out front — Kyle Busch’s No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota, winner the last five times Busch has raced it.

On Lap 34, Brad Sweet spun his Great Clips Toyota at the entrance of Turn 3 to bring out the second caution of the evening. That sent the field down pit road, Hornaday earning a penalty for refueling before the catchcan was installed on
the truck. Hornaday, who had been running third behind Busch and Sauter, rejoined the race in 21st place, as Busch, Colin Braun and Stacy Compton led.

Shortly after the green flag flew on Lap 39, Almirola was back up to second to make it 1-2 for truck owner Billy Ballew. And on Lap 44, it was Almirola’s turn to lead as he blew by Busch, who took only fuel on his stop while Almirola took fuel and tires.

At Lap 50, the one-third mark in the race, the top five was Almirola, Busch, Harvick, Sauter and Braun, with Hornaday 16th. Twenty laps later, Harvick and Sauter both went past Busch to take second and third, respectively.

The top three remained unchanged at the halfway point, with Almirola 3.952 seconds ahead of Harvick. Championship protagonists Matt Crafton and Hornaday were fifth and 14th, respectively.

By Lap 88, though, Hornaday was up to 10th, putting himself in a better position to clinch the championship.

Wheeler Boys stalled on Lap 90 to bring out the third caution of the evening and setting up what was expected to be the final pit stop of the evening for most of the leaders. Almirola held the lead through two rounds of pit stops, followed by Harvick, Busch, Mike Bliss and Mike Skinner.


But the key was that Hornaday moved up to seventh, one spot ahead of Crafton, who had a dropped lugnut on his second pit stop.

The green flew on Lap 96, and a lap later, it was Harvick to the lead ahead of the two Billy Ballew Toyotas. On Lap 98, Busch moved by his teammate for second place behind Harvick. But three laps later, Almirola retook second.

With 30 laps to go, Tim George Jr. crashed to bring out another caution.

On the Lap 127 restart, Harvick led Almirola, Busch, Hornaday and Bliss, with Crafton in eighth. Busch quickly moved up to second, but Hornaday already was easing well ahead.

Then, Kevin Conway cracked the wall on Lap 134 after contact from Crafton, bringing out the fifth caution of the evening. Crafton was seventh at this point, but still behind Harvick.

The track went green with 11 laps to go, Busch putting the pressure on Harvick immediately.

With five laps to go, James Buescher crashed in between Turns 3 and 4, setting up a green-white-checkered finish and another chance for Busch to get past Hornaday.

But although Busch got close to Harvick on the restart, he could not get past, as Harvick drove to victory and Hornaday drove to a spot in history with his fourth series championship.




TRUCKS: Hornaday A Worthy Champion Written by: Tom Jensen

Hornaday became just the fourth four-time champion in one of NASCAR’s top three divisions Friday night, with a fourth-place finish in the Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix International Raceway. In the process, at the ripe old age of 51, he also become the oldest champion in a top NASCAR division.

It was a moment of supreme triumph for Hornaday, who previously won Truck Series titles in 1996, ’98 and 2007 and narrowly missed last season, when he lost by a mere 7 points to Johnny Benson.

In 24 races this season, Hornaday has amassed impressive numbers, with four poles, six victories, 15 top-five and 19 top-10 finishes.

More than that, though, the 51-year-old California native has created a body of work over his career that’s earned him a place with NASCAR’s greats and the respect of his fellow drivers.

There are 45 Truck Series victories in 249 starts on Hornaday’s resume, and now, of course, the four titles.

“I think if you look at just the Truck Series alone, he'll go down in history as probably the best, the greatest ever,” said Jimmie Johnson,
who himself is pursuing a fourth NASCAR championship. “When you look at what he has done in the sport in general, from Winston West racing and the late models on the West Coast all the way through Truck, Cup and Nationwide, he has done it all and was very competitive in all of those series.”

But as much as he’s accomplished on the track, what Hornaday’s accomplished off the track is equally impressive.

In the Hornaday household, the family’s well worn black leather couch doubled as a bed for many an aspiring racer.

Johnson, of course, is a California native like Hornaday and Hornaday’s boss, Kevin Harvick, who won Friday night’s race. According to Johnson, Hornaday’s generosity and willingness to help young racers is well known to other drivers.

“I think his legacy is going to be better defined as time goes on, but he's going to be known for more than just what he has done in the Truck Series,” Johnson said of Hornaday. “I see guys today that talk about late models that he built for them. … There are so many people that you affect and touch and work with over time, that I think Ron ... Ron will be known as the greatest ever … but he has done so much more. I think people that are close to him respect him more for the man he is than just what he has accomplished in a car.”

Harvick said that Hornaday is still active helping other drivers. “I don’t think that’s quit,” said Harvick of Hornaday and Hornaday’s wife, Lindy. “You go over there and there’s still a lot of people that they nurture and their house is always open. It’s always been that way. What you see is what you get with Ron and Lindy and the whole family. It’s always been one big family and if you want to be a part of it, then come on over. That’s just the way they’ve always been.”

As for Hornaday, he was typically modest about his accomplishment. Asked how he felt, the first thing he said was that he was still racing hard for the owner’s championship in the Truck Series, where the Kevin Harvick Inc. No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado is 60 points ahead of Billy Ballew’s No. 51 Toyota that Kyle Busch has driven for much of the season.

“It’s not over by far,” Hornaday said. “We’re racing Kyle Busch for owner’s points and that’s the true goal. It shows how great our team is and Kyle’s been really running strong. He’s got what, six, seven wins this year? So we’re going to do everything we can to hold him off.”

And thing that Hornaday seemed happiest about with his fourth championship was that it broke a tie with his old nemesis and friend Jack Sprague, as three-time champions. But more than that, Hornaday said he hoped to see Sprague back racing one day.

“I’ve got one up on Sprague, that’s all that counts,” laughed Hornaday. “ … I told Sprague, ‘Now you’ve got to come
back and try to get a fourth one and keep me racing. … It’s been a fun battle with Jack and I wish he was still out here.”

But on this night, and for the foreseeable future, Hornaday’s accomplishments stand alone, as they should.

“It’s been fun,” said Hornaday. “And we’re not done. As long as Kevin and Delana will still have me, we’re going to win some more.”

Danica Sue -- how will she do?

nascar-singlebar
by Darrell Waltrip
Legendary stock car driver Darrell Waltrip, winner of 84 career NASCAR Cup Series races and three-time champion, serves as lead analyst for NASCAR on FOX.
Updated: November 13, 2009,
6897364

Folks, you have to admit that the news of Danica Patrick running some NASCAR races is pretty darn exciting. This young lady creates a stir wherever she goes and whatever she does. At this point in her career she probably could have landed a ride in Formula One if she so desired because of how popular she is.

In today's economy it is all about putting fans in the stands, and she can do that in spades. So you tell me, what sanctioning body wouldn't be thrilled to have her? The Indy Racing League has really capitalized on her popularity. She is clearly the biggest star in that series.


I'll admit, when the news broke that she had a real interest in NASCAR, it made me skeptical. She was in the midst of contract negotiations with Andretti Racing, so I figured from a business standpoint she was using the possibility of coming to NASCAR as leverage within those negotiations.

I get asked every day now from folks how I think she will do over here. I have to be a realist, just like she obviously has to as well. Now back in his hey-day, Dean Martin had a song called "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue." Now the opening lyric goes Five foot two, eyes of blue; But oh what those five foot could do.

Now I have been around NASCAR most of my life and I have never driven an Indy car, but have a pretty good understanding of them. The dry weight of an IndyCar is 1,525 lbs. That does not include the driver or the fuel. They have onboard telemetry. They live by that telemetry. They are agile and quick. The driver and the team have the ability to make adjustments to the car while it is actually racing.

Those are all things we don't have in NASCAR. The driver is the on-board telemetry. That's part of the learning curve she is facing. Our cars are big and heavy. They are 3,500 lbs. They have a limited amount of downforce with pretty small tires for a car that heavy. With the speeds they hit at all the tracks we go to, they are simply a handful.

Our top stars in NASCAR today will tell you the Car of Tomorrow is the hardest car ever to drive. It's the hardest car for a crew chief to figure out. So when I hear stock car guys saying how difficult this car is to drive, well it makes me wonder how Danica at 5-foot-2 and 100 lbs will handle one of our big old heavy tanks. Now that's not a slam at her, it is just a fact. Our cars take a lot of effort and anticipation.

It's just such a transition and learning curve. Look at Sam Hornish Jr. He's had some good races, but frankly he's had some pretty darn bad ones too. Folks, he is a former IRL IndyCar Series champion. Look at my neighbor Dario Franchitti. When he came over to NASCAR, I figured he had as good a chance of anybody to make it. But he couldn't unfortunately. He struggled and then got hurt in a Nationwide Series race that put him even further behind. So he went back to the IRL. Well look what happened this year? He's the new IRL champion.


Maybe our cars, since they are such a handful to drive, teach them even better finesse and car control. So maybe it is easier to go from a stock car to an Indy Car instead of vice versa.

The other thing to remember is that Danica can't simply show up at Daytona next February and drive a Cup car in the 500. It's a NASCAR rule that you have to run the superspeedways of Daytona or Talladega in another series first and be observed by NASCAR officials. Now she could go to Daytona and run an ARCA race or even a Nationwide race but she can't run the 500 until she is observed by NASCAR. They simply want to verify that she is qualified to handle our style of cars at those speeds before they allow her in a Cup car at those tracks.

Being the star she is and the following she has, it would be interesting to see her run an ARCA or Nationwide race. Think about what that does to shine light on either or both of those series if she were to do that.

The thing that has to bring her comfort is that Rick Hendrick will be around. When he's around and looking over everyone's shoulder, well things tend to go smoother. That is about the best insurance policy anyone can have. He has a way of making sure you have all the right equipment and even more so, the right people around you. If you don't believe me, go ask Tony Stewart.

At the end of the day, I still believe coming over here is going to be a physical and mental test for her. The pressure of her running both the IRL and NASCAR events is going to be tough. The demands on her time over here from the media and more importantly the fans are going to take its toll.

This isn't a slam at the IRL but the pressure on a NASCAR driver is much great. We run 36 points races plus a handful of non-point events while the IRL runs 17 events. Our races are much longer too. Granted, she hasn't gotten to the Cup level yet, but sure the anticipation is there and these longer races will factor in.

I just keep doing the math and I keep looking at the challenges she is facing. It's simply going to be difficult at best for her to get comfortable, go through the learning curve and have success over here. It is one thing to be a big fish in a big pond, but it's another to be little fish in a big pond.

You always have to remember that you have to perform in NASCAR, get results and put numbers up on the board. In the IRL, Danica has done OK. To come over here and not be able to deliver the results is a risk/reward she is going to have to seriously consider. There's also the danger of being over-exposed attempting to run both series'.

She and her management team have to take a long, hard look at this because let's face it, there is a lot more at stake here than just money. Obviously if all goes well, her marketability can go even higher than it is now, but what if it doesn't go well? If trying to do both series' is too much and she is only mediocre doing both, then was the risk worth it?

There's simply going to be a lot of challenges, but I for one would like to see her pull it off. I would like to see her be successful because it would be good not only for her, but for our sport as well. But again, if I was 5-foot-2 and 100lbs, well it sure sounds like someone that could slide right down into an IndyCar pretty darn easy but to climb through the window of one of our big ol' tanks, well not so much.

Danica Patrick 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

Is it possible that Danica Patrick just keeps getting hotter with every Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue spread? Quite possibly. But if not, I choose to believe it anyway, and just go with it. Yes, I’m delusional that way. Speaking of delusional, what are the chances that I’ll bump into Danica Patrick in a crowded bar and she comes over to hit on me? I say it’s about 50-50. I’m really dashing and junk in a dark room. Or at least, that’s what Ed tells me, and Ed never lies about such things. Anyhoo. Here’s Danica Patrick back in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. I know the whole draped over the car in a bikini is to associate her with her professional of car racing, although I don’t know why, cause the woman is just flat out hot, car racing or not.
