dry lakes racer sold to Jim Lattin, and since day one it's not been street legal, only land speed racing legal.

that's the first time I've seen a speedometer with a sign painted over it... images from http://thegarageblog.com/garage/barn-find-ranchero-bonneville-racer-heading-to-museum/

I didn't know that Lattin was collecting land speed racers, or that his shop is in Pomona, while his collection is in Encinitas. I've wanted to see that collection for a while. Not going to happen is my best guess, but he brings some of his cars to a variety of shows http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=lattin
