Salt Flat

Here is an actual Salt Flat car.

It is a great model I think.

Very sleek.

Good markings, and notice the bubble for the driver.

The markings are very bold.

A good looking car.
 

Cadillac of Race Cars

High speed racing is not limited to those seeking a world land speed record.

This is a Cadillac of all things.

It is designed for Le Mans racing.

Not exactly what you think of as a Cadillac. 

But racing helps to test materials, concepts and designs that often make it into production cars.

The Bonneville Salt Flats is also used to test the speed of cars, that will not be contenders for the land speed record.

Underside of the model is pretty smooth, which is likely similar to the real one.

It has a very interesting look from the top.

Speed Racing

This rather goofy vehicle is from the Cars series.

It is based on real vehicles, however.  I got it as part of my auto racing project and I have a few different speed record type vehicles.

The Bonneville Salt Flats is a place where for over 100 years land vehicles were tested for their speed.

Land speed records have been set there by a number of different kind of vehicles.

Typically, they are long, narrow vehicles, often with various fins, not unlike this model.

This vehicle has a parachute at the back to slow the vehicle at the end of the run.

Close up of the parachute pack.

From this view, without the googlie eyes the model looks much better.

I may do something with the eyes, but I have not decided yet.

The underside is interesting but not authentic.

The top is pretty good and it has an interesting shape.

Race Bannon approved.
