Your comments are certainly apt, David. The team will undoubtedly need to work up to those speeds and it may take more than one attempt but they sure have lots of thrust to work with. Regards, Neil T

I am sure that their superior British engineering can come up with power to over come nearly double the drag to go from 762 to 1000 mph ( caveat...area needs to be considered). Transonic drag is gonn

I'm sure we'll all be VERY interested in the show. and no doubt some of will learn a few things? (Like whatever the heck transonic drag is - I can guess hahaha). Your comments are certainly apt, Davi

The question of "how many wheels on the ground" has been discussed before and I'm not sure I ever saw a definitive answer. If a car is presented with 4 wheels but one (or even 2) of them happens to l

The FIA requires that an automobile, for record purposes, have a minimum of four wheels in contact with the ground while the vehicle is in the timing trap. Jack Dolan has mentioned this several times

This makes for some other interesting (to me anyway) questions. What about cars where the front wheels are in in-line configuration and would only leave one track? Maybe this is where the money start

John's front wheels are conventionally side-by-side. They are NOT in-line. The engine is in front of them as you indicated. Learn more about his innovative design and it may dispel some of your fears

The only place I know where 3 wheels can just take out an opponent is in Pinewood Derby. Of course I would never be accused of using any unfair advantage. (2 generations of winners) .................
