gtx6970 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I don't really follow LSR stuff in any way . so bear with me. What is to be gained by these attempts , outside of your name in a record book. ? I can only imagine the financial backing commitment something likes this requires , yet for what. ?

Kinda like building models.
gtx6970 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) I just watched this . WOW, just doesn't seem to be enough. And to strap your butt in that at those speeds has to be a rush unlike any other Speedweek is on my bucket list to see someday. Edited March 14, 2013 by gtx6970
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Pretty incredibly impressive achievement too, when you consider how much power they're claiming for this car. This is a good reminder of how important low aero-drag is to top speed, as Thompson's Challenger One had a lot more power and a lot more drag, was roughly 60mph slower.
