On the 40th anniversary of Ken Warby breaking the World Water Speed Record, his son David was out testing Spirit of Australia II, designed by Ken, for his own record attempt in 2018. Blowering Dam in country NSW, Australia was and will be the venue as David builds up from his current best of (only!) 172 mph in his quest to go past the still existing mark of 317.60 mph!
