Lightning Rod
The Arivett Brothers are streamlining the future with
their current Battery Fueled Electronic Streamliner Aerodynamics
Technology (BFESAT) project. They have recently entered the arena of
building battery fueled electronic Bonneville streamliners, with world
record setting results.
Their first (BFS)
creation sliced through the wind with electrifying results, "Lightning
Rod" (owned and operated by Randy Ranburg) set the all time World record
at Bonneville Salt Flats with a two way speed of 215 mph! The first car
to hold the record at over 200 mph!
The foundation for
the BFESAT project was poured by the late Ed Ranburg. A pioneering
innovator of battery fueled automotive technology. His final vehicle
'Lightning Rod', created by the Arivett Brothers is the second fastest
land speed record holding electronic vehicle. This vehicle is fueled by
conventional type 12 volt automotive batteries.
Unfortunately this
record was not achieved during Ed's lifetime. Although his son Randy
Ranburg laid down a beautiful 215 mph two way average, the former world
record. Randy's performance is a dedicated tribute to Ed's patient years
of research and development.

White Lightning
The following
vehicle of the BFESAT project 'White Lightning', owned and operated by
World Record Performance Associates, is basically from the same mold but
utilizes RC type electronics technology. This vehicle is the current
world record holder at 245 mph, and the Brothers are looking for 280-300
mph out of this BFS in the near future.
