My name is Chris. My family has been going to speedweek for over a decade. Last year (2016) was the first year we had our own car out there. 4 of us made licensing runs. It was a great time. We are Blue Goose Racing running a lakester under the number 409. We have a D/GL. That is a D class lakester. It is running a naturally aspirated SBC 305 Ci. We made a few small mistakes on our first trip to Bonneville with this car, but we made plenty of runs and had a fantastic time. We learned from our mistakes and plan to continue to learn. We are ready to head there this summer. We'll be there for speed week. We live in Lansing Michigan, so we plan to attend the Ohio mile. We had nothing but disaster there last year. Thankfully it happened in Ohio instead of Utah. Message me if you are near michigan and have questions. I'd be happy to help you figure out which class a certain type of vehicle would fall in to. Somebody else recommended getting a rule book. They are 100% correct. If you have any interest in LSR, you should get a rule book. It will be one of the most valuable things to help you in your quest towards high speeds, or just understanding LSR. The book not only explains all the rules, but it tells you everything you could want to know about technical specs of any class of LSR vehicle (cars and motorcycles), and it also gives you a listing of the current records in every single class (plus it tells you who set the records, which will help you to see what kind of competition you might be facing).
On a side note, we have a classic dragster chassis for sale. Cheap. It will not work at bonneville. We used it to build a bonneville car, but rules changed. It does not have correct diameter roll cage now. However, it can be used for many other things. If anybody knows somebody who could use it, I'd let it go for MUCH less than what it is worth. It just needs a new home. Thanks!
