Dry Lakes Racers Australia

We were doing a flying K event sometime in the mid 80's on the old tram road (a long straight two lane sealed road that runs along the Canterbury plains from near Rangiora towards the hills and has hosted quite a few record attempts over the years including a Vincent powered side chair land speed re...

The bottom two pics look like Mike's Aero as I remember it. Will be home later in the month and hope to catch up with Mike - if that works out will pick his brains on the real world results of that shape or better still see if he will post on this thread/forum.
