I have a question ed. I know that you are shooting for 800mph but roscoe and richard are shooting for 1000mph. Lets say that one of the other guys is able to set a record of 800mph or above where does that put your project. How fast do you think that your car can go and will it go faster then 800mph. I would like to see you bring the record back to the USA. It seems that richard has the best chance because he has the whole D A M N country behind him and i know that you have been funding your project on your own dime.

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

We're scheduled for a safety review board meeting in the next few days to let the Air Force decide if they
are going to support us in our medium speed test runs (400 to 600) this fall or early summer. If the weather
cooperates, we'll spend a couple weeks on the lakebed. If not, we'll try to get some test time in May or June.
We finally have some positive support from the Air Force. Wait and see!
May or june would work better with my schedule :wink: :-D

Our mission, at this time, is to bring the world land speed record back to North America. We'd also like to be the first over 800. With
Noble and McGlashen working hard to get something on the ground, we know we have limited time. I expect to see some test runs
out of the British camp by next fall but don't expect to see Rosco on the ground until the following year. I just hope we can get
funding and some support from our government to let us run somewhere in the USA, preferably Diamond Valley. We also think
the 104 is capable of well over 800 but not in it's current configuration. We'll look toward our first mission as the real mission but
knowing there could be more in the future. We'll see...........
