Lee Munro is proud to follow in the footsteps of his legendary uncle, who incidentally has its own feature film called it “With heart and hand” (original title: “The world’s fastest Indian”) starring Anthony Hopkins: “My uncle was a huge inspiration for my racing career. I definitely inherited his greed for speed. The opportunity Indian is giving me is just fantastic. I am very proud to be part of this team and to be able to drive with a Scout at the same location in Bonneville in honor of my great-uncle 50 years after his record.”
