Hey GMC, you have lost it. Granatelli and his engineering staff tried it at Indy years ago, and I think it was Chrysler had a prototype for the street. Hope you got a bank vault full of hundred dollar bills. I have never ran the Silver State, but it looks like a consistant and predictable power train is essential to control your time on the course, like tech said it is a 90 mile bracket race. Suspension and handling would probably be my first consideration, than a solid and reliable power train combination. If you are dead set on playing with a turbine, Bonneville or the dry lakes would probably be a better venue for it.
