The LSR car was absent twice from the speed trials in Bonneville. I'm hoping that they will make it this year and break the record. As others here have stated, the LSR project has potential to lure investors, as it has already done (and for good reason IMO). I know that the engine is not in the car, but it is not a LSR specific engine:
"Mark 5 Engine: Our Mark 5 project will generate revenue from several sources. We expect to receive an additional $300,000 from Combilift this year as we provide prototype engines for their material lift equipment. We are currently in discussions with additional customers for the Mark 5 engine for a variety of uses -- from micro-CHP (combined heat and power) to automotive."
The LSR project is funded by Sponsors and DONATIONS, hence a lower priority, ask Cyclone. These engines, when completed, are going to be BEASTS.
"The engine on the dyno will
easily exceed well over 100 hp and has run to
1015# torque at 35% cutoff. At the West Palm Speed
Way we will be running the longest cutoff
approximately 15% where at the Cape about 10% and
7-8% at Bonnieville where we only need 200#. At
West Palm there will be no record set because of
the length of the run however we do think it will
be impressive." Harry
