Subject: RE: Fawcett's LSR Car
The car and all the support equipment has been mothballed into 2-50-foot
trailers and is stored in a Reno, Nevada mattress warehouse by Steve
Fossettbs widow who will give it to you as soon as you deposit 3 million
dollars in her bank account. I had been asked to sell the projectbs assets,
but when I was told the price was not negotiable I thanked her for the
opportunity and bid farewell to the white elephant.
Now two years idle and the team scattered that renovated the car for
supersonic speed trials, anyone who buys the deal will need to disassemble
everything to learn what they have, what works and what needs updating.
What a complete waste of time, talent and hope.
I helped build this car with Breedlove and he broke my heart when he started
acting like a hippie head case then hope renewed with Steve who then flies
himself into a mountainside to dash my hopes. Now the Brits are stoically
marching back to the measured mile with Bloodhound and while I think the goal
is insane, I know the four guys at the nucleus of the insanity very well and
fear that if they catch a lucky funding break, the United States can kiss off
any chance of EVER getting the world record back home.
BTW using gas in the jet was no problem b those engines can run on sludge
if tuned properly.
