Sammy Millers record may fall !

[kestral]

This is the engine that is being built to beat Sammy Millers record.It is supposed to be going to be beaten in the UK.By who?

[kestral]

I don't know who is building or going to drive the car that the Rocket Engine is going into. I think it might be the person who used to have a jet car(his name slips my mind).There was a post about a year ago that he was selling the jet and building a Rocket Car.
Whoever it is I hope he has got somewhere to run the car I don't think Santa Pod will want hydrogen peroxide anywhere near their track. 386mph in 3.58sec will be difficult to beat.

Yes there is another photo of the Rocket Engine on the web site.Some big ideas being talked about. I doubt if 7500lbs thrust will beat Miller, then they have to get hundreds of GALLONS of peroxide not the few gallons that Eric Teboul uses.

Sammy ran three-second passes on 5,000 lbs of thrust.

When, where and which car?

When's your car out Kestral?

It's out now,I'm just going to put it in the garage in case there is an overnight frost

But did the vega do a 3sec. It certainly was not the really fast/quick car?

This seems to have died a death alright! 5 years on and no developments!
