The photo above was taken at the two day, opening meeting of the Toowoomba Club's Oakey track, where the Queensland 5cc record was broken four times. As can be seen from the caption the fastest of these was John Hart at 101.4mph. He went on to improve the speed of his ETA 29 powered car to 107mph at Warilla New South Wales before travelling up to Brisbane for the opening of the Queensland Club's new Kalinga Park track. Here he achieved the phenomenal speed of 111.2mph to break the Australian record, with two more runs recorded at over 110mph.

This represents the fastest speed listed for an ETA 29 car and significantly faster than achieved in the UK.
