VR contributor Mark Brinker went to Bonneville’s August Speed Week, with his sights on breaking the Grand Touring Sports Car under-750–cc Land Speed Record, which has stood at 80.143 mph since 1991. With his 1959 Deutsch Bonnet HBR-5 (#1025) “BoneEvil,” Brinker kept his foot planted deep in the firewall to reset the record at a whopping 93.994 mph. Look for a feature on Brinker’s adventure in next month’s VR.
Congrats Mark!
