Stacey talks about the recent production car land speed record claimed by the SSC Tuatara. Using his time out at the Silver State Classic as an example, Stacey also shares his experience of what it’s like to be in a car on public roads and reach speeds of near 180mph.

Diving into the mailbag, Stacey helps out “Big Dave” with advice on custom frame recommendations for a ’61 Nash Metropolitan and Robert’s questions about upgrading his Silverado to disc brakes.
