[Land-speed] As usual, I have another brilliant solution!!!!

[Askotto at aol.com]

We all know the weather can wipe out any Bonneville event and we can't  do 
anything about it. Currently the restrictive class rules require water  
unfriendly wheels and tires on every vehicle. This eliminates running on moist,  soft 
tracks much less on standing water.
 
I have a "fool proof" solution to race under any weather conditions,  even 
standing water!!! 
 
Bear with me. Have you seen the ski's you can put on the front of truck/car  
tires to glide across snow?  For the rear they put track treads  like a Snow 
Cat would have to power it through snow. Salt looks and acts just  like snow 
right?
 
Bingo! 
 
If we get watered out, we slap the ski's on the front and Snow Cat tracks  on 
the back!!! If the track is just mushy it would work great just like on  
snow! If there is standing water on the course, the front ski's would hydro  plane 
and the rear tracks would paddle across the top of the water just  like a 
duck on takeoff!!! Think of the rooster tails!!! I can't wait to make  mine for 
Ankle Biter!
 
I wonder if Snow Cat has 300 mph rated tracks??? Probably not. Wait! As an  
alternative to tracks, the rears could be equipped with ski's that have little  
Berkeley Jet drives on them!!! I'm Brilliant!
 
How about new class' for air boats??? Swamp buggies? Jet Ski's?
