  I just read an interesting story about Doug Herbert becoming a commercial pilot. In the story he stated that he would be racing his 5000hp streamliner at the Bonneville salt flats in 2023. I can only hope.

LSR cars take time to build... especially if you don't have a full time crew of builders working on it.  :-o
I hope we get to see it on the salt next year...  :cheers:

I get the pleasure to talk with Doug about once a year on the phone, Seems like a great guy. But honestly I don't know if this dream will come true. would love to see it happen for him.

I don't know for sure what it is but I get the feeling he is just too busy to get focused on it.

I talked with him and he bought some more parts late last year for the build. Sure hope he gets it done. Like I said before he is a bery busy man.

Really glad to see that Doug is making good progress on what certainly looks like a car that could be a threat to 500. Looks like probably 2025 unless they get into a real thrash to make this year.

There doesn't appear to be any more car there than there was years ago!
