[Fot] TR3 @ Bonneville

[koblinger at verizon.net]

A TR3 would be in either the production or modified sports car class, from there the classes break down by engine size, blown or unblown, fuel or gas. All the info is on the SCTA website. Taking an outright class record would be pretty tough but it would be fun just to do it and he could probably lay clain to the worlds fastest TR3.

Steve Hedke ran his very stock TR3 at El Mirage years ago just for grins and I think he was clocked at just under 100mph.

Cheers,
Kurt O.
