Rear Engine Racer Proves Turbine Power Plains at Indianapolis
The Zink Trackburner will miss the 500 but has proven gas turbine power workable for racing. It has logged 900 miles at speeds to 145 mph around Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with crew chief John Zink Jr. noting good turns but slower straightaways. He believes a bigger turbine and better combustion could push to 150 mph. Only Parnelli Jones’ J C Agajanian Special has hit that speed on the 2 14 mile layout.
