Like many lakes racers, Khougaz flat-towed his roadster to El Mirage. Safety chain (on ground) ensured the '32 roadster and tow car wouldn't part company. Although a channeled '32 wasn't as aerodynamic as a '27 T or a purpose-built lakester, with its smooth bellypan and other mods, this car came close. Its 141-plus-mph top speed was an impressive feat.
