Leigh Fielders 1998 A/GALT record finally falls

Post by DLRA »

Way back in 1998 Leigh Fielder DLRA #113 took his Pontiac to Bonneville as part of the Aussie As-Salt team and set a new A/GALT record of 249MPH. (breaking the previous record by an average 18MPH)
This was finally broken at the 2010 World of Speed meet by Jack Rogers with a 251.117MPH
Leigh's achievement is all the more remarkable as it has taken 12 years for his record to be broken.
