Biodiesel Sportster Land Speed Racer - Ohio Mile 2016 Part 2

Here are some photos from the other competitors who showed up!

This is a homemade steam car :-D

They used a Doble-style flash boiler fired by propane, and the engine is a heavily-modified Mazda rotary engine. They machined custom rotor housings out of solid stainless to prevent rust and optimize the port positions. Unfortunately, they suffered a valve failure on their first pass and had to retire without completing the run.
 











 This is a land speed racing Ford tractor with a flathead V8. Apparently, this was a factory-available conversion back in the 30's and 40's. The rear tires are sourced from a Boeing 747.










MERCEDES 300 SLR GULLWING!!!!
