| Post subject: | Bonneville salt flats on T.V. |
Watched this last night; http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... Episode_2/ Quite entertaining about the annual pilgramage to the Bonnville salt flats in America. A vast array of custom, modified, vintage and often home made, cars and bikes attempt to break land speed records. Well worth a watch. And then I thought, (and you know where this is going) has anyone taken anything out there that would grab our attention. Low and behold; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrGMxKHtkMU This is a truly amazing 216.6 mph 928, that not only wheel spins at over 200 mph, but manages to keep traction when a gust of wind causes it to spin at 200 mph+. Note at 2mins 30 secs how the wind literally ripples through the fibre glass bonnet. |

Exciting! I knew about the BBC programme, but that 928 was awesome! |
