IF people would help submit information on the "past" vehicles and have a 
accurate
account for the vehicles I would be more than happy to put a searchable 
database on
landracing.com website. All I need is a accurate source for information. It 
could be a
historic database of most all vehicles on the saltflats. Any additional 
information or
suggestions or a source of some good information on this matter.
