    Default our family's 413mph race car, and our championship winning ski boat

    hey guys, just thought id show you some pics of our family's project since 1991.

    the car was sponsored by penzoil originally, following about 10 other sponsors over the years.
    the car was built and designed my uncle glen davis from titanium.

    motors were 2 x v12 rolls royce motors totalling 27litres of capacidy
    FIRST 3.69-1 119.95 135.42 MPH 154.76 MPH
    SECOND 2.02-1 219. 12 MPH 247.39 MPH 282.73 MPH
    THIRD 1.38-1 320.74 MPH 362.12 MPH 413.73 MPH
    FOURTH 1.00-1 442.62 MPH 499.52 MPH 570.88 MPH

    car topped out at around 413mph, before the lake in sa flooded a few years back for the first time in over 100years, destroying most of the project, and has now been sold off in peices due to sponsors pulling the plug.

    as always there is going to be some haters out there, but you quite welcome to email him for an questions you may have, we still use the email and will reply to as many questions as you have.
    you will find this on the site.

    and more info you would like, feel free to veiw our site, although its old and archived most of the information is still there, we are currently building a historical site on the car.

    and this is my other uncles boat graham richie, those that go to the southern 80 would know him, took out a few championships before he flipped it and broke his back, the hull is in the echuca pub now.

    WOW no wonder you have been bitten by the bug. Seems you grew up around it. Always wanted a power boat but have to do the car first, then the boat. Couldnt see myself doing 413mph tho but would be great to see. Have any vidoe footage?
