Dave Alexander
Dave Alexander is a New Zealand engineer and land speed racing enthusiast known for his passion for building and racing custom cars. He gained recognition in the 1990s after breaking a land speed record in a single-seater vehicle and has since returned to the Bonneville Salt Flats multiple times to pursue further records. His latest endeavor involves constructing a 7-meter Lakester powered by a turbocharged Nissan RB30 engine, which he aims to race in an attempt to break a land speed record. With nearly nine years invested in this project, Alexander is determined to carry on the legacy of fellow Kiwis in the racing community and is preparing for what may be his final significant racing project.
