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).  Mike |

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.
In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230
Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

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. John |

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

Nort, good for you! do you know if #701 LeFevers roadster got in a good run. Thanks for all updates from everyone Thanks for checking on us Glen. Kevin ran 203 on a 208 record. We've just got to step up our program...  John Beck in the #511 st/roadster ran a 207 on a 202 for a record. |

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

John, I want to think that BUT...... after you go out and spin the tire s in every gear...... run on the limiter...... and go 248...... WTF do I know..... 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.
