Now that's what I call fast

http://www.tipperarymotorclub.com/hillclimb.aspx

"Mr. R. Gallagher's (Dublin) well-known Leprechaun (995 c.c) which won
Class C (up to 1,250 c.c) in the Open Hill Climb sponsored by the
Tipperary L. C. and M. C. Club at Dungarvan recently. The Leprechaun
covered the hill climb, a distance of 1.7 miles in 1.4235 seconds"

Hoalee fucking shite.
If only Malcolm Campbell had known.

 

Catapult?

 

Too fast for that. Could have been a (Lee) Enfield Bullet.

 

Apparently, he did an average speed of some 6.971km/h, which is not
far from the 11.000km/h required to scape Earth gravity.

The NASA may have considered the off-shoring of some activities of the
space shuttle on such Indian Enfield Bullets.

 

I think you mean 11km/s.

 

Replace "apparently" with "according to what some caaaahnt said in the Dago
group", thanks.

 

More of a sheer drop than a hill climb IWHT
