Ken Richardson, a WaffleCat profile

[Ataxia]

Ladies and gents,

Thanks to the sterling work of WaffleCat, we have a brand new driver profile on Ken Richardson! It's great to have a new contributor on board, especially after his epic Reddit posts, and hopefully we'll see more from him!

So, he asked Ken Richardson to point the car down the arrow-straight stretch of highway in Jabbeke, Belgium and absolutely throttle it. Richardson complied, and the power was something to be believed. As evidenced in this film, Richardson and his Triumph trashed the speed record for cars under 2000cc with a mind blowing 124.88 mph in speed trim.

Said arrow-straight stretch of highway is one I know very well from my many excursions onto the continent - all the way past Bruges and Gent it goes without so much as the slightest bend before Aalst ruins everything. At least in 1953 there was no such thing as speed cameras to trouble Ken The Mechanic!

Just want to say thanks to everyone that helped get this up here, especially Ataxia.

I hope the rest of y'all enjoy this piece, had lots and lots of fun writing and editing this all together, I'll see if I can do a few more things for this site in the near future.
