Speed Record video at Pahrump NV

Yeah sure whatever, I do that highway all the time.

(horrendous terror when you think of the road surface undulations above 150 mph . . . )

Nobody but nobody has the nerves of steel to do that stretch out there at 57 mph. They don't have the determination.
But I do:

Myself, I set a VW Campmobile slalom speed record on a nearby highway, as I recall.
Ludwig--1974 Westfalia, 2.0L (GD035193), Solex 34PDSIT-2/3 carburetors.
Gertie--1971 Squareback, 1600cc with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection from a '72 (E brain).

Ah yes, you did, didn't you. We have an archive of our growing pains right here on the forum. So, I got this Lexus out there with 64,000 miles on a fresh factory engine, and when I read of my old notion to go Lexus the Salt Flats, well, no.
