Land Speed Racing Team Arrow Racing Photo Gallery
Under the direction of racer Bob Williams Team Arrow Racing created a competative NSU streamliner to break some long standing land speed records. Check out the full story in Salt Addiction: Team Arrow Racing.
Tubular chassis after paint. Total diameter is a mere 24 inches.
The Arrow streamliner uses center-hub steering
A lift hoist was built to make it easier to work on the low slung machine.
Mockup of tail Fins.
The Arrow streamliner at a local airstrip for some early testing.
The slot over the rider’s head is where the periscope mounts. Without a protruding canopy aerodynamics are significantly improved.
No claustrophobia here!
Simple instructions on how it’s done.
Running on all fours, the Arrow makes a test run down the airstrip with the aid of additional running gear.
Home at last… The Arrow 'at home' at the Bonneville Salt Flats, 2003.
Bob’s streamliner in front of his business and workshop.
Right side of engine compartment. The team is based in Canada, as the logo on the beer can 'catch tank' implies.
Bob’s push vehicle is as interesting as his streamliner. He operates the vehicle from his wheel chair!
Team Arrow gets their record and their red hat!
This is what the front tire looked like after a blowout while attempting to capture the NSU 500cc record. There were so close!
