Congratulations Denis Manning!

A lifelong devotee of Bonneville since the age of 13, Manning dedicated his career to pushing the limits of motorcycle performance and engineering excellence.

Among his legendary creations was the 2006 BUB streamliner, piloted by Chris Carr to an astonishing 350.8 mph world record at Bonneville. Earlier, his 1970 Harley-Davidson streamliner carried Cal Rayborn to a then-unprecedented 265 mph, reclaiming the world land-speed record for Harley-Davidson.

Manning also founded BUB Enterprises, producing American-made high-performance exhaust systems that enhanced racing performance around the world. Through ingenuity, persistence, and an uncompromising pursuit of speed, he reshaped the frontier of motorcycle engineering and competition.

Today Land Speed Racing USA had the honor of visiting Miss Britain III at the British Maritime Museum in London.

Built in 1933 by Hubert Scott-Paine, this remarkable machine changed the course of speed racing history. At a time when sheer horsepower ruled the water, Miss Britain III proved that innovation, lightweight design and aerodynamic thinking could challenge even the most powerful competitors.

Powered by a single supercharged Napier Lion aircraft engine, the sleek silver craft went on to become the first single-engined boat to exceed 100 mph — an astonishing achievement in an era where danger was ever-present and technology was still catching up with ambition.

What makes Miss Britain III so special isn’t just the speed… it’s the philosophy behind it. Precision over brute force. Efficiency over excess. A mindset that would go on to define modern racing across land, sea and air.

Standing in front of it today, you can still feel that spirit.

A true icon of speed.Decades ahead of its time.
