Congratulations to Lionel West (Castlemaine Vict)
Congratulations to Lionel West (Castlemaine Vict). Yesterday, in Bronze Aussie, a 572ci VR Holden Commodore Lionel broke the world land speed record for a 4 door sedan with a speed of 281.436 mph (or 452.927 km/h) on Lake Gairdner is S.A. He is now chasing 300 mph. I have met Lionel, a real down to earth bloke, he built the exhaust for my XP Coupe
The car was built by Lionel and Rod Hadfield, previously of Castlemaine Rod shop and builder of some insane cars, one of which is owned by Jay Leno in the USA
He crashed a couple of years ago when me and a mate were over there. Crashed at just over 400km/h, took 1.6k's for it to stop rolling (tumbling)
