Re: Wind tunnel testing a Sport Q...

The car was an ex-works sport Q and the owner, Tom Hammond, added all of the
Pikes Peak regalia later ... he also owned several other sport Qs, including
(I believe) the one that Dialynx now owns.  The car was written about in an
older issue of the UK's Cars & Car Conversions when they were comparing 0-60
times between a hot car and a hot bike.  Believe it or not, but the car won
... as I recall, its best run was only 3.6 seconds!

I also believe Mr. Hammond has since sold this car but can't confirm this.
I'll have to check with my source in the UK for more info ... stay tuned.
