Is there a "World Land Speed Record" for slot cars?
I've been contacted by a group of people keen to make a record attempt - and they are keen to know what the current record is - if there is one!
I know the record for a lap of a 155ft King Track went over 70mph a few years back. Obviously slot cars are capable of going faster than this in a straight line. With a bit of development on gear ratios and aerodynamics they could probably go quite a lot faster in a straight line.
So has anybody actually measured the speed accurately?
If so please lets have the details.

P.S. I know there was a thread on this topic last year, but it didn't tell us what the current record is.
