Breedlove 800 MPH in 2013?

"...we can train him to push the eject button..."

Push the button, get a banana.

I guess if Jon's chimp can get FIA clearance he/she would be good to go. Might be better to have the chimp learn to deposit Jon's underware in the proper container, drop the shorts - get a banana.

Craig is a true American bad-ass.  This is good news, finally.  I guessing he will get more in sponsorship
money in a few weeks, then the NAE team has got in over a decade.  Just sayin'.  Action and results
and a measurable amount of progression will dominate.  Go USA USA USA.  Craig doesn't even have a
car but I feel he is already way ahead in the race for The United States.  America go get it back!  NOW!
No, I'm not here bashing NAE. (although I see some faults) Breedlove knows marketing and fundraising.

[F104A]

Yeah, we do have faults. We're engineering types, not marketeers so it is hard to find money. Most of you out there don't realize how
hard it is to get the BLM to cooperate let alone the USAF. Getting a permit to run is as hard as finding money to run, even though
the car is finished and ready.

 ^^^  Ed, I hope your events in Seattle and Texas help get the ball rolling.
          You guys are close, keep up the hard work.  Stay ahead and win!

Thanks for the link Phil. It was way too long since an update came from the Breedlove camp, I really needed to hear this. Now i'm looking forward to seeing a structure of some sort.

[Tman]

Yes, thanks for the link!

 Ed Shadle got a front page on his local paper today plus a large part of an inside page. Lots of photos and good quotes. "We're kind of a bunch of hotrodders that have turned into science geeks". was my favorite.  The News Tribune from Tacoma Wa. is the paper. Of course the trouble with the article is the head line." First, you take wings off a plane". Sad to say its hard to get excited about a car that's actually a plane with no wings. Probably what corporate America things anyway. He says he has spent "between one and two million dollars so far" If I had one or two mil to throw at landspeed racing I would give Seth a run for his money, and go to every event. That would be so much fun!

[IvanP]

If I had one to two million dollars to spend on a LSR effort, I would be doing exactly what Ed Shadle is doing. It's called living a dream and that's romantic.

That Goodyear film of Craig's leap into the brine pond was riveting when I first saw it.
Spirit of America resides, intact, in Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.
Seeing what American hot rodders like Craig could do inspired me to set a world land speed record as my goal, achieved with The Blue Flame driven by Gary Gabelich in 1970. Ray Dausman, Pete Farnsworth and I met that challenge. The prior successes of the Arfons brothers and Craig Breedlove further showed how American initiative could achieve success in this venue.
I posted a video of our project on Youtube, the last American car to set the absolute world land speed record - and the fastest ever on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PFEnzhP9Y4
Let's hope we can witness an American team take the ultimate land speed prize again.
