Eurodragster.com sponsor Matt Wright has a turbine engine in his slingshot. His crewman said 'The car uses about three litres of fuel each run and the engine is really simpler than it looks. The problem is getting the power to the ground, we have a three speed B&J and don't use first and second is too low. so we are thinking of going the direct drive route with a slider clutch'. The car, built by Bill Felstead, should go very quickly once sorted as it is very light.

I brought it home to Sweden and rebuilt it; the engine is a Donovan serial no. 160 displacing 484ci with nitro heads and a Blower Shop 6-71 with billet internals. I have run a best of 6.61 in it at Kjula Raceway near Stockholm. Here it broke the flexplate, the oil pump and an input shaft which we hope to replace.

The car is suffering from overheating problems so I am keeping my eye on the temperature guage and hope for a full pull'. In round one, he suffered a broken propshaft on the launch and that was the end of the meeting for him.
