railfancwb Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 How vintage is vintage? At a nearby dirt track last summer, but car designs are essentially timeless. (The shop meme is of unknown age.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted June 1, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted June 1, 2022 This is the Blue Bird V, driven then by Sir Malcolm Campbell. In 1935, it became the first car to reach a speed of 300mph, at Bonneville. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted June 1, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted June 1, 2022 This is the Sunbeam Mystery Slug, which was the first car to go over 200mph. It’s driver, whose name was almost as long as the car, was a fierce competitor of Sir Malcolm Campbell. The Slug’s driver was Henry O’Neil de Hane Segrave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was solid metal, with a ring of foam at the top. We crashed into all kinds of stuff with it. Turns out, that Dad was an accomplished (Eagle Scout), derby racer. He said, that on his last race, blowing down the hill, at max, the steering went out. He was rippping at 1000mph, straight into the crowd. But the crowd parted... And there was a cop, sitting on his motorcycle. So Dad nailed him. Dead center. He said it was his last race. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
