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, a Lotus Elan with a Cosworth BDA 
(I think that's the motor in it - the rare one that costs like $20k 
by it's self) and Concours winning Alfa Spyder and a Lancia Scorpion.

Bill has raced SCCA since at least sometime in the 70's and has a 
donor car for a Bonniville project that he is willing to spend some 
coin mount a challenge.

Bill is also posted this want ad on our clubs forum:

"I need to buy a rebuildable cylinder head for either a TR-3A or TR- 
4.  I need a high port head or will buy a whole motor if 
available.  Need ASAP.  Bill Close (602)524-5351"
