Land-speed record hope for lawnmower at Pendine sands

Land-speed record hope for lawnmower at Pendine sands

Some video footage here, courtesy of the B.B.C., of the preparations for the attempt on the lawnmower land-speed record that I first posted about a couple of months previously. The two chaps in the film seem particularly personable and just the kind of stout fellows one would expect to try for such an attempt. Were it not for the fact that the current record is held by an American one could say that it is a peculiarly British endeavour. Nevertheless it can be see as appealing to our sporting nature and sense of humour, so it would be nice to see us take the record. Good luck to Team Runningblade come the 23rd of May!
