From '58 or so until '65 I had a '31 Austin 3 window. Rare car I thought all the Austins were 5 windows. Mine was a pickup cab with a trunk brazzed on. I can't believe Lattin has that thing. Anyone with a picture?

#69 Lattin & Gillette STR had seven turn outs (!), photo by Seldom Seen:



I've compiled a list of all of the V4 runs and there were no vintage gas coupes recorded that I found or other vehicles with Lattin/Gillette in the name (I haven't double-checked that - your mileage may vary).

Tom,

That earned Ralph Hudson his Dirty 2 hat with a run of 203 mph!!  Congrats to him on his stellar achievements this year, two hats for him and one for his racing partner who plastered a ton of mph on the existing 750 records at Bonneville a few weeks ago.

Watch for even higher speeds for these two.   :cheers:

Thanks for checking on us Glen. Kevin ran 203 on a 208 record. We've just got to step up our program...  :-(

Thank you for the info, do you think that the course conditions kept you guys from getting the record?

Good job man!

Thank you..we tried a few different things hoping to keep a decent starting position and never thought we could run that number on Gas on that course..special thanks to Subaki for making a great chain to drive the front wheel as well since that is legal at this time.
