About the developers:

The team is lead by Randall better known as Randy Pierce. Randy served in the Royal Canadian Air Force as public relations photographer. He studied photogrametric engineering and remote sensing and military law. As a veteran of the heydays of drag racing in the sixties and seventy he crewed, owned and drove everything from stock bodied Mazda's to a 1941 Willys gasser, to front and rear engine fuel dragsters up and down the west coast.. Racing off road in desert races on dirt bikes he even managed, in his first year to make the top ten in CMA Motocross at the tender age of 34 years. He also sponsored and assisted off road 4x4 racers to championship performances in the seventies. Always moving in two or more directions at once, he owned and managed four or five business at the same time.

Randy was a pioneer in the manufacture and promotion of Nitrous Oxide Injection systems under the name of INSTANT HORSEPOWER INC. with partner and off road champion Bob Green. In 1979 while testing a twin turbocharger fuel dragster he decided it was time for a change. He parked all the racing equipment. Sold his businesses and bought two sail vessels. One he sailed around the Hawaiian Islands in the winter of 79/80 and the other, a classic 37 foot wooden sailing yacht which he completely restored with his beautiful wife and soul mate Wendy. They cruised the northwest showing it in wooden boat festivals. "My life went from 200mph racers to six knot sail boats offering hours of total boring relaxation between moments of shear and absolute terror"

In 2001 the need for speed could not be suppressed and he convinced Wendy to drive to Bonneville Speedweek to check it out, and a plan to build a streamliner took shape. A return fact finding trip in 2002 has convinced him to proceed with the construction of a twin engine diesel powered, air-conditioned PIERCE ARROW Streamliner capable of speeds of 350kmh on an existing record of (149mph) 240kp.
Following heart surgery in December 2003, the project has now evolved to a new car a single 4 liter engine, front wheel drive turbo diesel capable of 500kms (300+ mph). Designed by Randy, built by the sponsors and the team.
Please see the specs.

Engine Development by Piers Harry, is developing 3.9litre diesel with turbocharger and Nitrous oxide injection producing 750hp.
TV exposure, it is proposed that a documentary style video will be shot to document the chronological events from the start of the build to the setting of the record. This will include short stories featuring each of the sponsors. This will be produced in part by CTV and The Discovery Channel.
