The salt shouldn't be a problem as I'm planning to re-shell Alley, I'm figuring a top speed run on the salt flat could be a fitting end to a shell that I've spent the last 9 years with Maybe when I'm done with the shell, if I have fun on the flat, might have a go at chopping it up, try and rake the windscreen, a Clubman Monaco

Would the drag be very different between a roundie and a clubby?? (I hope this doesn't start another Clubby Vs Roundie war )

As for straight cut gears, I'd love to get some. I think they sound awesome, but I still drive this on the street a fair bit, and I dont know how the SC gears go with town work. I've heard it takes a bit of a "Knack" to use them.. Anyone wanna confirm, disprove this??

This is sounding like more and more fun by the minute

H/PRO Aussie record is 129.217mph. Over at Bonneville it's 131.769mph.

The straight cuts are no different to use, they are just noisey as anything...

He's getting confused with dog gears, straight cuts with no syncros... you need to learn to drive all over again with those

Giving land speed racing a go is something I will do atleast once in my life!
