  • Congratulations Lyle Shelton - Message From John Slack

    I got a call a while ago from John Slack. He's not going to be around a computer so he asked me to relay this message from him to Lyle

    Congratulations Lyle Shelton for 15 years of being the fastest man on record in his class.

    The date we most remember for the record breaking is actually tomorrow, 21 AUG (1989) but on the day prior to the current record, the the team and Lyle took the plane to a speed, somewhere in 516.zone according to John.

    Knowing that John Sandberg was planning a record attempt less than a year, it was decided that a breaking of the record would not do and that a smashing, or as good as they could do would be in order.

    And so they did!

    On August 21 1989 at Las Vegas, New Mexico, Lyle shelton set the 3KM piston powered propeller driven aircraft speed record that was so well done that the speed holds today as the record.

    Today and tomorrow, two very important days in the life of one of the greatest air race pilots of our time-

    Mr. Lyle Shelton, Air Racer!
