For the first time in Team Vesco's history both world class Land Speed Streamliners were on the starting line at the same time at USFRA's 2014 World of Speed Event.

In spite of weather challenges, broken gears and fuel delivery issues Team Vesco managed successful test runs with both famous streamliners at USFRA's World of Speed Event. #444 "Little Giant" driver Bob Blakely, was able to make 3 successful runs over 300 mph achieving his unlimited license and posed to enter the prestigious 300 mph Chapter of the 200 MPH Club. The meet also provided TURBINATOR II's driver Dave Spangler with a "super acceleration" test in which he achieved a speed of 250+ mph before turning out at the 2 mile. Look for both cars to complete their goals next year.

Team Vesco wishes to salute crew member Glen Barrett for an outstanding job announcing times at World of Speed. It was so good to hear "The Voice of Bonneville" back on the radio!
