Default Tempest-engined landspeed racer

Anybody notice the 1962 lakester on BAT? It currently has a turbo'd Tempest four. I assume it originally had a larger engine, since 'D' class is indicated and it ran 220+ mph.

I'll go have a look and report back.

OK so this was discussed some time ago here. Not even where it was posted. Now I will do some more digging and link it.

I was just reminded by an oldtime landracer that before SCTA had blown classes, a blower moved you up two classes. So an 'F' engine (3 liter) moved up to 'D' if blown.
