They had set their sights on the 1960 record set by the Harry Mann 'Vette at 156.954 mph. They went home disappointed, because Bill Scace pipped them for the record at 160.469mph. They would be back and become a force to be reckoned with.

14th Annual Bonneville National Speed Trials, 1962
Jack Lufkin and Denny Jones showed up at Speedweek in '62 with this clean looking Class B Grand Touring Corvette powered by a 300ci straight six Chevy engine.

Bonneville & El Mirage Pictures 2011
Some excellent pics from last year's Speed Weeks at Bonneville and El Mirage, courtesy of talented shuttersmith Michael Harrington. His portfolio is impressive, having snapped for Old Skool Rodz magazine, then going on to be Editor-In-Chief for Super Chevy magazine (as well as being chief snapper). He really captures the stark beauty of the location, as well of course the sheer awesomeness of the machinery pounding the flats.
Check out his website; the man certainly has an eye for a good picture.
