Land Speed Racing - El Mirage... Something Different
So I pitted on a buddies modified roadster today. He's big into land speed racing and has built 5 cars. Number 6 is in the works with plans to go 500 MPH. It has two helicopter turbines and all wheel drive...

Today his roadster spun a bearing at 155 mph. We packed it up after one run. His power plant in this car is a flat head ford with an Ardun overhead valve conversion...
