Not to worry about where thrust powered cars can run ........ it is 20 years since Richard Noble recaptured the outright land speed record for Britain (04/10/83 UK or 10/04/83 USA) driving Thrust 2.

Wherever it is I hope it isn't on the salt flats. I've heard what the shock wave did to the surface of black rock after his 762 MPH passes. Question I have ... did anyone actually walk the course to

Why, Malcolm, ol' buddy-- that almost sounds like a challenge. Russ, #1226 (w/ too much Cd, and not enough HP-- or $$-- to take-up the gauntlet) Not to worry about where thrust powered cars can run .

it is my fervent hope that before I die we can inspire a USA team to whup the Brits for the absolute record. What's more, Richard, Andy, Ron and Glynne are all for an American coming after them; seem

Jim put it a little bluntly-- but there really doesn't appear to be much interest in thrust cars in America anymore. Maybe it's a fad that just passed? Why don't you guys send something over to run

I am just wondering why there is all this friction towards those who set a very good record speed in a thrust powered vehicle. Thrust powered vehicles in general really. To be honest, I wouldn't mind

No friction here, I just don't care. Thrust powered land vehicles are to me like monster trucks, motorized unicycles, choppers and low riders. I appreciate the dedication and the craftsmanship but t

Hmmm...maybe its friction...but from my point of view its a very, very impressive marker in LSR history. The problem is that 99% of us run wheel driven vehicles and a thrust vehicle is sort of out th

Different people have different dreams Arne. I've been saying sense I dropped out of the I/B_ S competition the the records should be over 300 mph. I've closely followed those running in that class.
