meeting
Guest Speakers Phil & Alan Shephard brought in their E type Jaguar and talked about their
assault on the salt in pursuit of speed. The car concerned was originally owned by Harley
Pederick (see photographs above) and came into WA in 1962. A fantastic collection of
photos was shown with some great stories about winners and losers on the salt. It appears to
be more of a technical challenge than you would expect to get car setup spot on, keep the car
going straight/fast and not blow it up before the 3 mile timing line!! Awesome stuff.
