York National Railway Museum:
Following a Big bang day for Key Stage 2 Schoolchildren on Friday 18th March - an open to the public Sat / Sun 19th / 20th follows.

For those who have not viewed this British World Speed Record Car - it has an F1 Cossy V8 to power the Pump for the Rocket!. In addition to the Eurofighter / Typhoon Jet Engine!

The show car will be there and Ambassadors will fill you in on any technical questions you might have.

I will be there Fri / Sat - call in and get the latest info - buy a T-Shirt or pay to have your name / Club on the cars' Fin.

Brilliant news! Will Bloodhound itself be there? I think I detect a daytrip coming up...

As far as I know - it is likely to be just the show car - possibly a smaller example of the Hybrid Rocket.

The actual SSC car is being constructed as we speak, as inital contracts have gone out in the last 2 weeks.

If you did'nt see it at the Autosport Show (I was there Fri/Sat) I think you will enjoy the specification - equiv 135,000 BHP!
