Thanks for that Salt Shaker
Most emails and comments we get are usually rather insulting to say the least. I also hope NAE gets to the 800 mph before we all Bloodhound and Aussie Invader do their first runs. As for The Silver Bullet, we have only been working on this project for around 12-14 months. We have all the ingredients to make this cake but are unable to bake it until we get the funds to do so and as mentioned it other posts within these forums, the economic downturn has put the brakes on any potential sponsorship partners to date.
Just before the downturn in the economy Rosco had a massive sponsorship deal in America with Ford?? I seem to recall and if that had gone ahead, he would probably have been ready to run now.
Our time line is as long as the cash flow so who knows?? We are aiming to built and run in Australia with all the parts being sourced in Australia. This part of the project is almost complete and from the problems arising with the salt flats, we have to overcome those issues also. Our in house CFD team will be running simulations soon to ascertain the stability and adjustments will then be made to the vehicle. So, it's all go here and with a little luck, we'll see you on the flats
thanks again
