Bill Burke meets the Bill Burke bellytank re-creation

Bill Burke bellytank re-creation alongside two other Burke-built cars at the NHRA museum

After the exhilaration of speeding around on the Bonneville Salt Flats with the Bill Burke bellytank re-creation, Geoff Hacker, who commissioned Ted Kempgens and Tom Bambard of Creative Motion Concepts to build the racer, made two final stops with it. First, a visit with Bill Burke himself, who provided plenty of input and details for Geoff’s build from a continent away. According to Geoff, Bill had a great time reminiscing over this tribute to his earliest work.

Next stop, and the final stop for now, the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsport Museum, where Geoff unloaded the bellytank re-creation for a display alongside two other Bill Burke-built cars – including the Pumpkin Seed – right inside the front doors. So if you’re in the area, make sure to head over to see all three.

Now Geoff has an empty trailer for his trip back to Florida. Or, at least, it won’t be empty for long…
