Bill Burke Bellytank Re-creation Headed to Bonneville

| четверг, 13 августа 2009 г.


Progress on the Bill Burke bellytank re-creation ran at a rapid pace the last couple weeks, and for good reason – owner Geoff Hacker wanted to display the racer on the salt at Bonneville for this year’s Speedweek, which starts Saturday. The first fire for the engine took place July 24, then by the 29th, Ted Kempgens and Tom Bambard finalized the paint and got it out on the street for a shakedown run. Geoff packed up the bellytank and all related materials Sunday, then hit the road Monday, so if you’re headed out to Bonneville, make sure to see him and the bellytank. Plans also call for Bill Burke to join Geoff on the salt this weekend. Then once Geoff’s done there, he’ll head out to California to drop the bellytank off at the NHRA Museum, where it’ll join two other Bill Burke bellytanks. Good luck, Geoff! More pics at Hemmings
