Team attempt to smash speed record at Pendine Sands - Wales News - News - WalesOnline

Team attempt to smash speed record at Pendine Sands - Wales News - News - WalesOnline: "A BID to smash a land speed record on a West Wales beach was gearing up for a fresh assault today after a runaway dog and bad weather scuppered yesterday’s attempts.

Don Wales, 50, the grandson of racing motorist Sir Malcolm Campbell, is this weekend aiming to break the 137mph UK electric vehicle record set by his Bluebird team in 2000.

But yesterday’s attempt to reach 150mph racing at Pendine Sands failed after Wales was unable to get more than one run owing to poor weather.

Shaun Curnow, from the Bluebird Land Speed Record attempt, said: “As far as I know there wasn’t any records set.”"
