Hat Trick

USA’S Jack Rogers had a red hat (for a record over 200mph) from every landspeed venue in the world except Australia’s Lake Gairdner. So this year he brought three Camaros, a huge semi and a bunch of parts across the pond, and he got his hat. So did some of his buddies, including Roadkill’s David Freiburger and Keith Turk, who we know best as the chief scrutineer of Hot Rod Drag Week. The ’68 Camaro pictured is a 250mph ride wrapped in historical photos of some of the most famous salt cars. It’s drop-dead cool and seriously fast. The push car was built from a mid-70s GMC motorhome. Featuring a shortened fibreglass body, it is powered by a 455 Oldsmobile V8 with front-wheel drive.
