Hi All
I just returned from the FIA and World Finals meets. As some of you may know
I have been helping Charles Nearburg with the now "Spirit of Rett"
Streamliner (car 1122). I have worked with Earl since he purchased the car from
Howard.
We made 9 passes, 8 over 300 MPH, set the A gas and A fuel record in one day
(350 and 348 MPH) and backed the whole deal up with an FIA record at 360
MPH. (375 mph one way).
I cannot explain the thrill of pushing the car off from floating mountain
towards highway 80 to what was to be a 369 flying mile average. Being able to
chase at 110 mph in my old Dodge was cool too. We serviced the car in about 30
minutes to send it back the other way.
There are too many people to thank in a short email, but needless to say the
car arrived from Charles' shop extremely well prepared.
I do want to say one big thanks--to Mike Cook for his support and for all he
does for all the Land Speed community.
Tom Stewart
