Nanotec-USA Sponsors the Nish Motor Sports Royal Purple Streamliner

Nanotec-USA and John Moore have delivered and installed state of the art NanoBionic Technology. Nanotec-USA ranks among one of the first enterprises in the United States with a range of "TRUE" Nanotechnology Products. The self-assembling Nano-particles dock directly to the molecules of paint and metal within the pores of the material. After assembly, the NanoBionics Smart Particles/molecules self-align themselves forming new structures.

In June of 2008, John Moore, President and CEO, Nanotec-USA personally flew out to the Nish Motorsports facility in Salt Lake City, Utah to apply his company's NanoBionics treatments. The surfaces treated include: the interior and exterior painted surfaces, stainless steel, aluminum and the polycarbonate windshield. Talking with the Terry and Mike Nish, it was agreed Mr. Moore would treat the inside of the large fresh air intake snorkel to increase the flow of air. The interior surfaces of the custom made stainless steel velocity stacks were also treated to increase the air flow and better channel the air.

Bionic Nanotechnology is the domain of ultimate engineering, where chemistry, physics and mechanical design converge on a molecular scale. This new Technology will give the Streamliner a new aerodynamic advantage and will reduce drag, not to mention making all the surfaces much easier to keep clean. Crew Chief Cecil McCray has this to say about Nano-Technology, “This stuff is amazing and we have high expectations of the Nanotec-USA Products and what they can do for not only the performance of the car but the appearance as well. The streamliner is going to get through the air better and just a little soap and water will keep it looking good. We’ve tested it and it works unbelievably well”.

SPEEDWEEK 2008: AUGUST 18TH -24TH.
BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, USA

Nish Motorsports and the Royal Purple Streamliner are awarded the Legendary “Hot Rod Magazine Top Speed Award”, for the third time, at the SCTA/BNI sanctioned Speedweek event at the Bonneville Salt Flats held August 18th thru the 24th, 2008. Nish Motorsports driver Mike Nish made one run of 371.080 Miles Per Hour and had an exit speed of 377.102 Miles Per Hour.

The course was a little wet in the first few miles and Mike Nish had a hard time getting traction. Wheel Spin definitely affected the time between the 2 mile and 2 ¼ mile clocks. “We were off about 15 miles an hour in the ¼ mile time, but when the car hooked up, it was a rocket. Usually the slow time in the quarter mile clocks relates directly to the terminal speed, but the exit speed was only off by a couple of miles per hour. I can only attribute this to a great racecar designed by my Father Terry Nish and a good 596 C.I. engine built by Tom Klein. We expected the time to be a little slower because we cut the Nitro Methane back from 20% to 10%. Between the 3 and 4 mile clocks the car picked up almost 37 Miles Per Hour. This is extremely good and I would have to guess that the new state of the art NanoBionic Technology done by John Moore of Nanotec-USA had something to do with that. ”, said driver Mike Nish.
Owner Terry Nish decided not to make another run during Speedweek and save the engine as a back-up for the next event which is the F.I.A. World Record Attempt, scheduled for September 22nd thru the 25th, 2008. Terry went on to say what an honor it is to receive the Legendary Hot Rod Magazine Top Speed Award in its 60th Year. This is the third time we have been able to achieve this honor and it is not taken lightly. It is an honor to have the Nish Motorsports name associated with all the great names in Landspeed Racing.

Terry went on to thank all of their sponsors for helping make the record attempts possible. Full story: SpeedWeek2008


Bionic Streamliner to Run Again at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Speed Week August 8-14, 2009

  Nanotec-USA has been in contact with Mike Nish, Driver of the Nish Motor Sports Royal Purple Streamliner to ensure the Nanotec-USA NanoBionics treated surfaces of the Streamliner are still functioning. Mike Nish reported the Streamliner still looked as if it had just been refined and treated with the NanoBionics treatments. Mike Nish, Driver of the Streamliner feels confident the NanoBionic surfaces will still perform well.

"Speedweek at the Bonneville Salt Flats begins with set-up and technical inspection with the SCTA/BNI on Thursday, August 6th and 7th.  Racing begins on Saturday, August 8th, and concludes on Friday, August 14th, 2009.  Nish Motorsports and the Royal Purple Streamliner plans to make a record attempt on Monday, August 10th.  Driver Mike Nish will attempt to bump his existing record of 377.715 MPH which was set during Speedweek in 2007.  The existing record was set with a 596 C.I. Klein BB, Naturally Aspirated Chevy Engine.  The attempt on Monday, August 10th will be done with a 720 Cubic Inch, Klein Big Block Naturally Aspirated Chevy Type Engine.  Nish Motorsports intends to use the same engine at the September, 21st, Landspeed Shootout Event for F.I.A World Record Attempts.  We will post results as soon as possible at http://www.nishmotorsports.com/  ." as said by Mike Nish.
