Streamliner

For the stay.

the original Firestone Bonneville tyres I got them from the original owner of the Streamliner that I bought the car from and he had some brand new spares in the bag and I've pried them off him I had to buy them off him of course but he bought them new still in the bags when I took them out of the bags they're like pliable, soft, no perishing like brand new tyres and we've had those on since 2020

Now, the rear tire's different.

You just put some new rear tires on today.

Yeah, there's multiple classes that aren't even, they don't even exist yet with a diesel class.

So we actually petitioned, I think it was two years ago, we petitioned for the diesel Lakester.

And a diesel Lakester is just like our Streamliner, but the wheels have to be on the outside of the body.

So there's a couple of cars that can run in that class already that are being either built or they're being, you know, So, yeah, you know, that class has been created in the last two years.

Okay, that was not Cody's bike.

So what category does the Bubz Streamliner fit into? What letters are in that one?

Streamliner, 3,000 plus.

I'd have to go up to that.

Yeah.

And then 650, 750, 1000, 1350, 1650, 2000, 3000.

So that's why Leanne on her 2500 Rocket is running in the 3000 class, which is technically the same as a Bubz Streamliner.

Yeah.

All right, by going to the Bonneville sulfates, now in Europe, we call it a backhoe, they call it a digger, all right? So they call it a digger.

But the fact of the matter is, is that to this race car that they have, which is called a Streamliner.

It looks like the fuselage of an airplane, all right? It's 30-something, I think 38 feet long, with a tail wing in the back, and you can't see the wheels.

They're tucked in in a fuselage, all right? And so very, very aerodynamic.

The railways were further hit when freight shifted to trucking, which faced less government regulation than the already established railroads.

To save their dying industry, the Union Pacific and Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy railway companies devised the Streamliner.

The 1920s had already seen a lumbering shift from steam engines to diesel, and these new, brightly colored engines for a modern age caused travelers to take notice.

They boasted reaching speeds of 110 miles per hour and, with their new diesel engines, grew a reputation for reliability as they didn't break down like the older engines did.
