“We did it…” a new Australian record (251kph) 155.7mph. The Diesel Arrow is now the fastest 13 litre diesel truck in the world…
Manning and his crew arrived on the salt lake (Lake Gairdner) on 6th March 2010 with one goal in mind – to reaching 150mph. “Mission accomplished Manning says” as the Truck handled perfectly and had no problems reaching its top speed; Manning also claims that it was a one of his top three drives of his life.
Manning would like to thank the crew, who have work tremendously hard: as it’s all finally paid off. Manning is also thankful to those who have given their time and money, and also his very tolerant wife: Margaret Manning.
Many thanks to the following for making the record possible: Pirtek, Goldsprings Transport, PT Hyds, Brent and Warburton, JSP Transport, Mick Walker, Robert Harding and John Minieff. Ongoing supporters: Jack Jones Engine Recon, Carline Raymond Terrace, Raymond Terrace Radiators, Villtruck, Total Fire solutions
Crew: Doug Manning, Ben Hardy, Paul Cassar, Howard Manning, Michael Capriotti, Jake Manning, Ben Gibson and Adam Manning
