UK driver Geoff Stilwell is to make a world land speed record attempt during Bonneville Speed Week in Bonneville, Utah, in the United States of America next week (11-17 August).
The Lucas Oil 7551 Rat Trap Racing LSR car will attempt to beat the record for a BB/GRMR – blown B class motor/gas/rear engine/modified/roadster.
Over two runs Geoff expects to reach speeds of between 230-240mph – the existing record is 212mph.
The runs will be made at an annual international meeting, which takes place on Utah’s world-famous salt flats.
