There’s a class for everything at Bonneville…
Land speed racing is known for more than just the pursuit of maximum velocity - novelty is also important, and there are literally hundreds of record categories, including some recent ones for electric and hybrid vehicles. What you see here takes the novelty factor to the extreme; it’s a lakester powered by giant rubber bands. I got these photos in an email forwarded from my buddy (and land speed record holder in several two- and four-wheel classes) Jack Dolan, but not much in the way of information. I’ll try to get more details and update this post when I get a chance. Until then, enjoy the photos…
Update: Popular Mechanics has a few more photos (but no more information) on their website.
