on what is clearly a gentle curved road, people repeatedly failed to turn and stay on it... of course, they might be as blind as the police chief, who states that it's a "straight road"


The chief said the accident was still likely some form of distracted driving, as there seems to be no other good explanation.

“If you saw it, it’s a really straight stretch of road,” Chief Galvin

Similar to the 917s, Cherry also provided mobile aerodynamic aids for the SRV. But instead of ‘flaps’ at the rear, like the Porsche, there was a pedal in the cockpit that could adjust an aerofoil in the nose section. At the same time, an electrically operated levelling system was provided for the rear axle. Also interesting was that it was possible to pump and re-distribute gasoline into different tanks, to ‘trim’ the SRV like an airplane or submarine The SRV was shown again at the 1...

a video of it getting off the start line:  https://www.facebook.com/ky.michaelson/videos/10214548383638906 https://www.facebook.com/ky.michaelson/posts/10214554840800331 https://www.facebook.com/efiexpert/ Bill sent me this example of what it looks like: And I think it's remarkably like that! The motor is a 427 LSX from Golen Engine Service in New Hampshire. It has two 88mm turbos and Holley Dominator EFI. https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Cars/Bonneville-Salt-Shark-226594851348688/
