Heat
Efficiency System
Surely,
all of us car folks have
fanciful notions regarding running such great events as Bonneville or
the Silver State Classic Challenge. Larry Bader has put the fanciful
notions aside and is making the preparations to compete.
BEGi, JC AutoSpec and others are
working with Larry to produce the
Miata that meets (and some cases exceeds) the objective:
remaining street legal while not only able to breech 130 mph in a
standing mile, but also able to cruise at 120 mph plus for an hour or
more!
Developing the raw power is a
piece of cake. The challenge is efficiently
managing
the enormous heat involved under sustained high speed driving
in West Texas and
the desert of Nevada. Clearly, many innovative
solutions are going to be required.
We will find these solutions and
prove their value with Larry's Miata.
With what is already recognized
as the best thermal management systems
of any
Miata products available today, BEGi will continue to show the
way with design, engineering and craftsmanship.
You just have to know, this will
be a hoot! Stay tuned...
