RED ROCKET'S RECORD.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ,  August 22, 2012. Bonneville is legendary. The Mini Cooper 970S enjoys cult status. What do you get when you combine the two? A fantastic record!

Three New Zealanders, Garry Orton, Guy Griffith and Garry Grand, have converted a 1964 Mini Cooper S into a racing missile as part of the “Project 64,” and set a new land speed record during Bonneville Speed Week for cars with engines with a capacity of less than 1,000 cc. Their average speed was an astonishing 251 km/h (156 mph).
