The RaceDeck
Roadster is in the "F" engine class- 2.1 to 3.0 L motor. As "B" stands for
"Blown" motor, in our case it is a turbo. We can run almost any of five classes
for this car, with just few changes to the roadster.
Fastest ever timed pass at Bonneville:
213.413 mph (BFR) / Ran at World Finals 2004
No other 4 Cyl Roadster has ever
ran as fast at Bonneville

F/BSTR- Blown Street Roadster= body must be that of a stock roadster,
having headlights, tail lights, rear fenders, full open front grill, …basically the most
un-areodynamic thing you could run, making it one of the most competitive classes in Land Speed
Racing. This is a gas only class
|
|
F/BGR- Blown Roadster- Headlights come off, fenders come off, and a flat insert
can be used in the front grill area. The roadster must still maintain overall original body
shape, height and wheelbase. This is a 'gas' only class. For "fuel" you would enter as F/BFR
|
|
F/BMGR- Blown Gas Modified- Same as above, but you can make belly-pans,
aerodynamic grill inserts and panels, change wheelbase, change cockpit location, etc...almost
unlimited. Again, if you ran fuel you would enter as F/BMFR.
|
|
PS/F-
Engine class size PM = Production SuperCharged
(Turbo) - This class call for the vehicle to have a body that is not
altered in anyway other than how it came from the factory- no aerodynamics,
body panel alterations, belly panning, etc..THe power plant must be of the
same configuration as was produced - engine size, transmission, if front
or real whell drive, must stay that way. Your are allowed to modify the existing
motor and lower the vehicle. All safety mods are allowed |

The RaceDeck Roadster is a classic 32' land speed hotrod- that is until
you get to the power plant! Which is the all new SRT-4 MOPAR motor, a 144 c.i.
4-cyl…."Old-school meets new school" set up.-
RaceDeck Racing (RDR) decided to build a car that would be different than any other roadster out
there and one that still had its "good ole' American Hot-Rod roots". This is
when RDR hooked with Darrell Cox, a master builder of MOPAR motors, specializing in the new SRT-4 motor by Dodge and
Jorgen Moller, CEO of Snap Lock Industries (
manufacturer of RaceDeck®) got together to see what
could be possible. After the very first their meeting both walked away with a plan of attack for
the "salt" and worked together on the project throughout the winter. The first issue was 'how do
you take a front wheel drive motor and make it work in a rear wheel driven roadster?….That
is where the rest of the RaceDeck Race Team came into play, the second obstacle
was to see if it was
possible to build a little 4cyl motor that could produce the massive amounts
power and reliability to the job done on the 'salt, this is where Darrell came
through with flying colors, with a
reliable 650 + HP 4cyl motor that runs on gas!. With the help of Jeff Nish, Larry Volk and
Dave Harris & Phil Hurst of Hinckley Dodge,
they built a car that would work on the salt with this unusual power-plant for
a roadster. During the project the local Salt Lake City Dodge Dealer joined
in on the action and gave the team
their top performance guys, parts, and even the paint & body
work…It was Hinckley Dodge "the oldest standing Dodge dealership in the country" that made it all
come together in the end, Dave and Phil put in over 100(+) hours in the last week prior SpeedWeek 03'….
The result is a "Hot-Rod" that is interesting to both the "old School" and "new School" racers
and enthusiasts- and a Hot-Rod that has been very successful thus far on the
salt!
