NEW LANDSPEED RECORDS


A huge total of 552 entrants for the Bonneville Speedweek which was run last week. Some of the tracks had to be moved because of the poor weather. I never knew that it could flood there.

Mike Nish, whose car is pictured above, drove the Chevrolet V-8-powered Nish Motorsports/Royal Purple No. 998 AA/FS streamliner to a speed of 377.715 mph. He already belongs to the 200 MPH Club’s 300 MPH Chapter.

Scott Guthrie, pictured below, captured the motorcycle portion with 250.135 mph in a 1,650cc-powered Hayabusa for a record in the MPS-BF class. Scott and his team of riders have more records that anybody owing to the team effort of Scott Guthrie Racing.
