Is this in Europe? The caravan is not American.

Otto Puzzell · May 05, 2012, 04:15:51 AM

Good eye - this picture was taken in Europe.

Delorean · May 07, 2012, 06:00:27 AM

Some competition? Perhaps 'how fast can you tow a caravan before it disintegrates'?

Otto Puzzell · May 07, 2012, 06:08:12 AM

Actually, it remained intact.

Any connections with Eifelland?

Otto Puzzell · May 10, 2012, 07:49:43 AM

I think Eifelland is a brand of camper / caravan? I don't know if this trailer is one of those...

Wendax · May 10, 2012, 08:53:32 AM

Let's put it this way: It looks like a speed record attempt for caravans. Did it happen in Germany?

Otto Puzzell · May 10, 2012, 10:17:11 AM

A record-setting attempt, indeed.

Not Germany.

That paint job seems so familiar from reading Street Machine as a kid, so this must be the UK in the mid '80s??

I'd guess it's a record attempt for quickest caravan tow down a 1/4 mile dragstrip

Otto Puzzell · May 10, 2012, 02:50:12 PM

Not in the UK; it may have appeared in Street Machine, but that's not where I found it.

The time from this run was submitted a well-know record-keeping organization, but I don't know if it was accepted as a record.

Djetset · May 14, 2012, 01:39:27 PM

I assume the well-known record-keeping organisation was (is) Guiness. Did the record attempt take place in Scandinavia?

Otto Puzzell · May 14, 2012, 02:59:18 PM

Wise you are. Right on both counts.

Otto Puzzell · May 22, 2012, 04:16:05 AM

I thought this was on the verge of being solved.

Wendax · May 22, 2012, 04:26:53 AM

Inofficial world record attempt in 1982 at Piteå Dragway in Sweden:

Otto Puzzell · May 22, 2012, 04:39:46 AM

Still need the (specific) date.

Locked for Wendax

Wendax · May 22, 2012, 04:48:31 AM

6th of June, 1982

Otto Puzzell · May 22, 2012, 05:13:37 AM

That's it.

Here's a little movie of the event
