If anyone is interested in the history of LSR and other early motorsports you need to check out the following web site.
www.ahraf.com   It's the American Hot Rod foundation. There are hundreds of pictures and articles that has been recorded for the people that want facts etc. for our sport. Check it out.

This may be totally off topic but I found this interesting.  I was amazed at the time period that this mans accomplishments took place.  I apologize if this has been discussed before as I did not do a search of the board before posting this link.    http://www.stanleymotorcarriage.com/SteamPacingBike/index.htm

His efforts were somewhat land speed related as he did try to establish a new record speed.  I believe he built his motorcycle and was trying to set records before old Burt was born.

This might be worth a look book review and ~12 minute video about Bluebird CN7:

.racecar-engineering.com/resources/library/475169/bluebird-cn7.html

The new book about the Bluebird:

.veloce.co.uk/shop/products/productDetail.php?prod_id=V4280&prod_group=Cars%20Vans%20&%20Trucks&

Just add www. in front of the "links". Do I (we) need to do this to avoid the spambots?

No.  In fact, highlight the entire web address then click on the third icon, second row (?looks like a globe and a piece of paper) and it becomes an executable link to the website, as I've done in the quote.

Completely safe.
