This is part of the reason the Land Speed Racing is so much fun. Where else
could you find a Cad V-12 in regular competition. I always look forward to
spending time wondering the pits looking as all the really super competition
vehicles. From Production to Streamliners and Bikes too we have the greatest
race vehicles on the planet.
