Delivering a race car from a concept to 240 plus miles per hour of genuine velocity involves a herculean team effort. In the case of the Champion Speed Shop Streamliner, the concept evolved from an initial design suggestion to the latest incarnation of the small block Chevy on nitromethane dragster. The four plus year development timeline began with a common vision of retro liners like the Glass Slipper. Bob McLennan called on Jeff Teaford, who took the vision into a series of drawings and models that eventually led the development and construction of the finished race car. Read on for more about Jeff and some original drawings.Jeff is a lifelong devotee of drag racing and aerospace. The intersection of the two worlds is not as uncommon as one might think. Jeff’s fascination with both began in Huntington Beach, California. Attendance at local drags as a boy soon had a young Jeff drawing dragsters. Practice made perfect, and today Jeff’s draftsmanship combined with a passion for aeronautics and velocity has led him to Colorado where he currently runs Teaford Aerospace. Jeff’s continued involvement in drag racing is bolstered in participation in the Sonic Wind land speed racing effort, led by Waldo Jakes.For more about the Concept Designer of the Champion Speed Shop Streamliner, head on over to the Teaford Aerospace Company.
