In Print 2. Specifications   gt; The Dry Lake Racer has been an on going project, from a trusty Vespa PX200 I bought new in 2000. It originally started out as a high tech commuter (see blog). The first gadget I hooked up however was a GPS, which showed some unusually low readings for speed. With a bit of testing I found the speedo reading of my Vespa (and all Vespa's) was high by 10Km/hr! This was confirmed with a number of different GPS's, different Vespa's and tyre speed devices. This lead me to a pursuit of higher top speed and with the help of Jeremy Scott we have decided to turn it into a scooter to take an Australia Dry Lake Speed Record... In Print A full report of our first attempt at the salt lake Speed Week 2009 has been published in the July 2009 International Scootering and Australian Twowheels Scooter magazines.

Vespa Labs is only a wiki and intended as a dumping ground for information and not as a properly reviewed source. The same disclaimers that wikipedia.org use apply to Vespa Labs. The short version is use information at your own risk, both information on the main wiki and in the user areas are intended to be used only as "thought provoking" for someone that knows what they are doing. If you try to implement a "thought" Vespa Labs is not reponsible and if something goes wrong we hope that you live and update the offending information with corrections to warn others.
