Alex97 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Well done!!! That's a great achievement to have. Quick question does the measuring equipment need to be calibrated before being used or saying that someone holds the world record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajlovering Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 It was entered as a trike to the to FIM rules not because the classes didnt allow non wheel driven cars but because FIA rules are for 4 wheeled cars and FIM is for up to 3 wheels. As a trike it got 407mph. Later it was changed to 4 wheels and as a 4 wheeled car later got 625mph to FIA rules. It was the last car to break the land speed record at Bonneville salt flats. The outright land speed record can come from either FIA or FIM rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
