I have a great friend that is thinking about building a TR3 to run at Bonneville. Does anyone have any idea what the speed record is for a TR3? Stock and modified? Bill owns three really nice TR-3's,

It would be interesting if the FoT got behind this effort in some way. Bonneville would be one of my 50s dreams to be there...more so if I could run it with a finished AMBRO. Vicarious involvement mi

Bill is not on FOT. I'll ask him if he would like to be. He would certainly be good for the list. He lives about three miles away from me here in Mesa, AZ ____________________________________________

A TR3 would be in either the production or modified sports car class, from there the classes break down by engine size, blown or unblown, fuel or gas. All the info is on the SCTA website. Taking an o

On page 228 of my first book, the Handbook, you'll find the TR-4A story at Bonneville. We did 128.2 mph in 1966. The TR-3 (small mouth) might be a little quicker because of body shape, but the record

My TR3 has a mild came and is bored out and has overdrive. Easily exceeds 100 on the freeway without trying (Bill Close can attest to this as he was trying to keep up in his Alfa Spider on the freewa

Drag force goes with the square, but the power required to overcome drag goes as the cube. The original TR2-3 road tests showed something like 108 mph out of 90 hp. Scaling up to 130 mph would requir

Sounds reasonable to me, but don't forget what configuration those tests were done with. 108 mph on 90 bhp sure sounds like it must've had skinny tires, skirts, no windshield and that metal tonneau

My stock 1955 TR-2 wouldn't go 100 mph downhill with a hurricane at the back unless it were falling off a cliff.. About 90-92 at the high desert altitude. (and slightly downhill). It would get you th
