paddy247 Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Just watched this on bbc4, absolutly awsome programe, Tracing all the original hot rod racers who built land speed record machines. An hour of pure adrenaline rush and thinking about the 1/4 mile season ahead.

st3ph3n Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Back when men were men! I saw the series when it was on BBC2 the first time round. It was great telly. My favourite is reading Craig Breedlove's personal account of when he crashed the spirit of america into the lake. Lost 2 chutes, tried to steer it past telephone poles, up a verge, rolled and ended up in the drink. How a man that was doing 400+mph and could describe exactley how it happened with such lucidity is beyond me. I recommend having a google for it.
jcscoob Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 seen some of it the last time, cracking stuff
