Re: News From The Lake: Speed Week 2013.

Wo. that is impresive for the Jag, I am so glad. Question: Is there any way to remove the limiter? Seems a waste to not unleash it a little more on the last day...

Re: News From The Lake: Speed Week 2013.

Please note correction: Norm Hardinge has run 207mph in his 34 ford which he has taken to Bonneville a number of times recently. This is a red hat and class record for Gairdner and that is great news for a top bloke and absolute supporter of the sport for many many years. It was USA driver David Haa...

Onya Norm! 209 is pretty quick for an exposed rollcage! Had he done 200 at Gairdner before? I have watched him just miss a number of times....

Re: $25 annual fee

Sorry, I am a bit out of touch here too...

I am living in the UK for the next few years do I need to pay too?

I don't want to come back and be slammed by a five year hit!

Re: Al Fountains Lakester is for Sale

That is a bargain. Good car, well made with passion. Hopefully the sale helps fund more stuff from these guys. I wonder if there is any sponsorship connections that have to be kept with purchase or if it is clear title? Regardless, a cheap way into the top end of the sport and probably some room to ...
