720km/t kul att se min motor byggar idol kenny dutewaller också.

Fräckt att klara av såpass hög hastighet med kolvmotor och på landbacken
men jag tror att kolvmotor drivet flygplan klarar närmare 850Km/t (tänkte på benämningen fordon)

Coolt med 7växlad låda

Å inte blev man mindre sugen på att åka till Bonneville för ett studiebesök efter att ha sett den där heller...

nu såhär ~1.5 år senare så kom det lite tråkiga nyheter från gänget bakom Speed Demon...

On the first run on the year on 9/12, Speed Demon got a little sideways and rolled several times near the 3-mile mark on the course. [This run was as part of what was supposed to be Mike Cook's Shootout, but was changed to a test and tune session with no official times due to standing water at the end of the long course and surface issues near the beginning.]
George walked away from the car and was taken by ambulance to Salt Lake City for observation. The data loggers showed the crash happened near 370 mph and the strength and integrity of the car/frame was simply amazing, given the forces the car saw during the crash. Everyone who participated in designing, fabricating and maintaining the car over the years can be proud of the fact that George walked away with only bumps and bruises.
George was grateful to everyone who has worked on the car over the years. The outpouring of support an concern was truly overwhelming. George is looking forward to bringing Speed Demon back to set new records in 2015.

Det verkar iaf ha gått rätt bra, trots hastigheten...
En klotning i ~600km/h måste kännas som det tar en evighet innan det stannar.
