Ford Taxi clocked at 400+ kph

Finally after years of frustration with rain delays and niggling problems.. Norm Bradshaw has broken the 400kph barrier with a Stella run at 408.7kph on the first day of Speed Week held at sunny lake Gairdner in Sth Australia .
The Dynomotive prepared 441ci small block Ford powered its way through the 3 mile traps on low boost at 6500 rpm

On day 3 when Norm lined to move the World record ( which is only 11 mph away) Norm decided to run the higher boost setting ( still relative low at 16 psi) but the twin plate Crower clutch let go and the taxi could only manage 400kph. The team has now set its sights on a return to Boneville to wrestle the World record back.

Well done all involved
