Nitro doesn't add power, it multiplies it! Bob Loux, running 10.07 secs @138mph on a 650 normally aspirated Triumph drag bike in 1965!

I was an apprentice sheet metal worker at Boxfords machine tools in the 90s they had a telegram from Donald Campbell thanking them for supplying a lathe for one of the Bluebird projects Good God I wish I could have liberated that before I left

I heard it mentioned on the BBC radio news on the anniversary, with a few words from his daughter from the remembrance service, saying what a true British hero her Dad was. In the days before risk assessment & health & safety, he was out there, risking his life for what he loved. Most of the time he came back, except this one time when it all went a bit wrong. Masterly understatement, but sounded like she was definitely made of the same stuff as him. We need more Brits like them.
