The MacKichan-Schulz Bonneville Landspeed Streamliner

The MacKichan-Schulz Streamliner is a completely hand-built machine designed by co-owners John MacKichan and Tim Schulz (also Driver).
They designed and built it in about nine months, but redesigned portions of it over the 22 years it was raced.
​
One design change, for example, was the stabilizer fin at the back of the car.  It came about after the car rolled in 1991, having a blown tire after running over debris on the course.

The Streamliner is a 3,000 lb car that is 26 feet long. It is roughly 30” tall (not including the stabilizer) and about 28” wide at the widest.

The car has three parachutes; a stabilizing chute, a high-speed chute and a slow-speed chute.
 
The front wheels are solid billet aluminum with independent front suspension. It has a Muncie 4-speed transmission, with dog-faced gears that positively lock into place due to the  high rear axle ratio.
 
At this event, we had a 302 small block Chevy in the fuel class running nitrous oxide, so Tim added a modified body panel with a “scoop” for more air intake. Other engines that run in this car include a 350 Turbo Motor, 302 Turbo Motor, and 259 Nitrous – all slightly modified, to say the least.
 
Tim, the driver, laid on his back with his head propped up looked towards his feet. There is a small opening in the windshield that he looks through to see the track. Tim is a member of the 200-mph club and the 300-mph club, which means he has broken records above those speeds.
