In 1993 Lindsay Wilson along amongst his crew Free Wilson ( Lindsay'second son ) too his 2 best mates Peter Byron as well as Greg Dumesny, packed upwardly the triple Stromberg powered FX in addition to headed down to South Australia for run across what sort out of speeds he could pull. Lindsay is the #24th member of the Dry Lake racers, a founding member.
Top speed was 109mph. "That high pitched howl that it gets at full dissonance makes the hair stand up upward on the dorsum of my neck. It is a really long fourth dimension to concur it apartment!" said Lindsay, "109 + a petty was the best just nosotros didn't really chase the speed that much. We were withal running a 3.89 diff eye! A Grey Power sedan ran a few years afterwards too ended upward alongside 113 mph I intend simply they did take an viii mph tail air current. My ute was basically a measure ute with my expert motor as well as the safety gear required."
At how many revs?
"Don't actually know every bit we had a slight missy inwards it in addition to idea that it power live electric so the tacho was the commencement matter that got unhooked. You just hold it at total trammel in elevation gear together with wait for the timing markers!" Lindsay nevertheless remembers the twenty-four hour period as well as the auto, stating "I can't brand upwardly my heed if I similar it "camming" around idle or a total noise by the timers best. Both make me smiling"
When asked almost the being of the FX ute Lindsay with a sigh replied "The only thing left is the running gear in addition to the Left Hand forepart guard. I had a broken leg when nosotros ran it the 1993 together with it was hard to clean up when nosotros got dwelling house so over the side by side iii or 4 years rust prepare inward. It was hard operate pushing the clutch in alongside my crutch to go it of the business!!"
Lindsays boy went on to ride Lucky Kieser'second 5 litre V-Twin at the lake when they were still trying to separate it. As a side involvement Peter Byron & myself were both Bail Justices & J.P.s inward Victoria at the fourth dimension. Greg is a commencement cousin to Max Dumesny the speedway guy from a few years ago. We got the large speed at the adjacent meeting equally 1993 entirely had the brusk operate-up due to H2O on the lake. Greg also owned 1 of the Z9'sec from Mad Max 1 ( The dark-green & xanthous 1 that does the mono upward the master street inwards the movie ) in addition to a afterward encounter ran 141+ mph only every bit he rode it everyday to go, no fairing either! There is a photo somewhere of it inward the back of the ute which is on the trailer at the lake. At an earlier coming together my boy had work 117mph inwards at that place tow automobile!
