The current record for this class is 146.1 mph.  Julio and Brad have tried all season to get the record and came within less than 1/2 of 1 mile on November 17th 2002 at 145.662 mph. It was really a heart breaker but there is always next year. 

 

 

Brad helpin' Julio on with his gear.

Cars are normally towed or pushed into the line up. Ophelia had the opportunity to be The Bean Bandits tow at the last meet.

Land Speed cars are geared so high that they need to be pushed approx 30 - 40 mph;  the momentum is used to take over the gears.
