Is it just me, or does it look like ther will be no attempt on the ALSR in 2010? With all the hype the teams put on this year they look to come up empty for 2010. You saw all the articles and stories, the websites and Facebook. Well it may add up to nothing but a ploy to take sponsors money. At one time last fall there were a rumored 5/6 teams with their hat in the game, what happened? SSC Bloodhound still seems to be the most professional as far as technology (car & media) fundraising too. NAE, well I saw their media blitz. USA USA USA on the 4th of July, 20??. oops! Bullet Project put up a fancy site then never updated it. LSR1000 never even got their website of the ground. Under construction still? Waldo's LSRV seems to change designs every time he spends some money. 2000 mph right? I think Waldo should finish his attempt on ice, now that was cool. JetBlack in NZ looked cool perhaps a LSR attempt but they have gone quietly away. Then you have Rosco's AI5R wich may just be the frontrunner at this time. He has been working with the UAE, they may still have a bit of money left in the gulf, that would help. So who do you think will make the first pass over 500mph? Nobody but the SSC Bloodhound seem to emit any tangible confidence to me, how about you. Good luck to all involved. As an American I would love to see my country on top of the podium, but...
