Default Honda on salt?

Hmm, looking on the web for info, no luck. Monday I was at Bonneville, happened to be nearby for the 1st time in my life, they were having a testing day. 5.5 hours on the salt starting at dawn, had to leave before anyone ran, bummer. Honda had a bunch of people there, uncrating some LSR car that had never run before. Anyone know anything about it? I spoke (barely) to one of the team, it was 660cc based (when I said "rather like a Kei car", he was surprised I knew what that was). I need to download the photos I took.

S660? Maybe some kind of testing. Or was it speed week at the flats?

Yes, officially a test-n-tune day, speed week comes later, I just happened to be there. Hmm, maybe it was a S660-based engine -- the car was a purpose-built streamliner, could not have been more than, eh, maybe 25-30 inches wide and over 20' long.

^ be sure to share some pics with us when you get a chance. Probably just Honda staffers doing some team building activity via a salt flat racer.

I have the photo now and THOUGHT I had a place to put it online so I could post it here, but no. If I can come up with something without having to set up an account somewhere, I'll do that.
