We check out Seth And Tanis Hammond's 300-MPH land speed racerGray Baskerville got it right back in 1975 when he wrote, "Seth Hammond is slightly eccentric..." Thus began the feature on Seth's Frontenac-headed Model T in the Sept. '75 issue of HOT ROD. Seth and his buddies built the car in a few weeks, with Seth building the chassis, Steve Davis bending the aluminum body panels, and a crew of guys building the banger with a '26 Model T block and that ultrarare, four-valve Fronty head. "It sounds like an Offy," our Old Dad told the readers. Seth killed the record at the now-defunct Signal Hill (California) hillclimb event, after which the organizers asked him not to come back. Sore losers.
