[QUOTE="davidd, post: 50518, member: 1177"] The Lake Gairdner speed trials start this Friday and run to next Friday. Pat Manning and I heard recently from Keith Canning who is Stuart's right hand man. He sent some photos of the recent mods. As it turns out, there were not too many ambitious mods because after the 171 mph outing, the engine was stripped and it turns out the crank was broken. So, a new crank from scratch, bigger exhaust valve and new cams with a little more overlap. I have not heard anything of the two Vincents that usually run, Mal Hewett and Stuart Penn, but I attached the DLRA link which has some photos of them in previous years if you search around a bit.
