Some more for you of Sammy Miller's return...

After an 8 year layoff, Slam'n Sammy Miller made a return to Santa Pod Raceway with a reinvigorated Vanishing Point in May. Although problems with overpressure in the rocket motor prevented a rapid return to the three second zone, the quickest Donald Duck impersonator in the world may be back in the UK to test again before building a new car over the winter!

[NOTE: He'll be at Englishtown for the Funny Car Reunion before that! bp]
