On bring-a-trailer website there's a really neat 1940's lakester. Bidding is now up to $35,000.
I'm not sure I'd like having my arms over the frame hoop to reach the steering wheel though... :-P
-
Jack, most lakesters built before 1990 probably will not pass tech today unless it has been upgraded and updated a time or two since built.
I doubt that one is being bought to race :cheers:

The video kind of captures the 'Philosophy of Making a Run' in another thread! :cheers:
The dog sure gets it! :-D
-
Yeah, I thought the video was pretty classy.
-
I noticed a little wobble in the RF wheel. Interesting to see the order of the dog's paws hitting the ground as he runs.

Neil, duplicating that wobble may have been the hardest part of the restoration! :-o :-D :roll:
Ditto on the hound! :cheers:
-
It's up over $100,000 !!!

Fools and their money :roll: :cheers:

Ya – but it will look great at the Stateline with the rest of the race cars.
-
There are exhibition events in Europe and the UK where the car can be driven and it would be unique over there. It would not be a surprise if it is an overseas buyer.
-
I guess we will see if the buyer actually pays....

I’m not sure who would buy it here in the UK to be honest or even run it. Certainly not unique as there are a few around. We do have a number of guys that run flathead dragsters here. But if it was over here it could run at Pendine Sands on the beach.... other than there I don’t know where it could run. Certainly interesting and I hope it goes to a good home.

Did anyone see Al and the Saad/Teague/Bentley roadster at the Pomona Roadster Show this past weekend with .

No but I hear Greg Adams took some great shots of this old Street Roadster that was there... I know I've seen it before.... just trying to remember how far you have to stan back to take this pic
-
Stainless, I think you'd have to stand way back in the Kitchen to get a better pic of that car.

Ya know, those last 2 comments were funny, even if you were at the gym.... :-D

Yes i did also Al Teagues street roadster was parked right behind the race car he used it to move the car car out of the building after the show. Al told me pulling the race car that has a locked rear was fun. :-) And about that white roadster if you stan back a bit she sure looked pretty for an old beat up racer.
