I agree with PJ, Ed.  Good work.  Now go out there and go fast -- go fast, first, on getting a few more firms to step up to offer held and promotion videos.  Best wishes for Thanksgiving -- and the whole dang holiday season. :-D :-D

Those are two great videos Ed. thanks for sharing. But in the YouTube video you refer to the NAE as an "aircraft." Whaaaa? It is supposed to be a LAND speed vehicle.

Yeah, I keep getting the two confused. It's an aircraft without wings. Some days I call it a car, some days it's a aircraft, other days it's a vehicle.

And the same to you, Ed (and everyone on the team).  Nice artwork, too.  Pen on paper, ink on metal, laser on some substrate?  It looks fine.

Merry Christmas, indeed.

  Ed, If I hit the PowerBall lotto, I intend to spend it on my Race Car, Your Race Car and pay off my VISA bill (maybe).
  Have a Merry Christmas and hope to see you pulling Cabbage Hill in August with neither one of us broke down!

That would make someone a really nice tattoo!   :evil:

Merry Christmas to all.

Hey Bob, just fired up the roadster a few minutes ago. Just making sure it hasn't frozen up from sitting since August. I suppose you heard that Glen Freudenberger has cancelled the NW Bonneville reunion. Bummer! Guess I'll see most of you at Speedweek.

Well it looks like Ed's secret marketing machine is at it again.  Moving the car for (not test runs) some reason.  Jessi in for yet more photo shoots.  Facebook says their first goal is to beat the (non-existing) female record.  What's really going on?  Keeping the public in the dark then asking for donations is an odd combo, but from this team I expect nothing less.  GO FAST USA!!!javascript:void(0);

I do not understand why ed is making a big deal about going faster then kitty o'neal did. She did not set a record so who cares if the NAE go's faster then kitty did. The only record that ed should be going after is the record held by THRUST SSC.
I will say this if i spent all the time and money that ed has on the car I D A M N sure would not let anyone else drive it female or other wise. I know that ed is trying to get funding to run for the record but if he does not get his chance to run the car before BLOODHOUND is able to try for the record i think that the BLOODHOUND could set a record that is faster then the NAE can run. I asked ed how fast he thought the NAE could go and he said 800mph. I have a feeling that BLOODHOUND will go faster then that. I hope that i am wrong because i would like to see the ALSR come back to america. GO USA AND THE NAE.

The speed that you wish to achieve is only limited by the depth of your wallet.

Publicity raises awareness.... and money.  Ed is not a deep pockets, government backed and high profile type of guy.  The only way he can afford to do this is to garner public support and some cash.  Things like that would get him onto Edwards to run on that lakebed.  A TV special covering Jessi's attempt could pay a lot of bills.
