About the Speed Record Club

The idea for the Speed Record Club came as a result of a meeting between our founder Robin Richardson and Bluebird designer Ken Norris. The aims of the Club are to put enthusiasts in touch with each other and to provide a method of sharing our common interests, be they modeling, history, current attempts or any other aspect of record-breaking.

Whatever type of speed record breaking appeals to you, and at whatever level you are interested, the Speed Record Club is the only club that is not associated with any one project or organisation and is intended to provide a forum for all with a common interest.

The club holds informal meetings incorporating exhibitions, tours, team presentations, film and slide shows and sales of collectables at places of interest such as Coniston, Pendine and at museums with speed related displays such as The National Motor Museum, The National Motorboat Museum and The Museum of British Road Transport. These are terrific opportunities to meet other enthusiasts and well-known personalities from the world of speed record breaking.

With numerous club members having active projects, the club also provides a source of volunteers for their trials and record attempts.

Aims and Objectives of the Speed Record Club

1. The Speed Record Club seeks to promote an informed and educated enthusiast identity, reporting accurately and impartially to the best of its ability on record-breaking engineering, events, attempts and history. The club earns its revenue from subscriptions, sale of merchandise and trading related to subscriptions and the production of its magazine.

2. The Speed Record Club will not promote or discriminate against any record-breaker unfairly, nor will it become involved financially or promotionally with any project, or seek to sanction or approve any record attempts.
