Anyone following the US and UK land speed activities on the Web? The
Noble car (truly a LBC with the L signfying LARGE) offers a very well
done site with lots of pics that are updated every 15 minutes using web
cameras. There is enough technical detail to satisfy any technophile.
See at http://www.thrustssc.dgital.co.uk/. Somebody must be watching -
they claim 4 million hits per week. As you know, the car hit 720+mph
today with the Mach 1 run scheduled later this week.
The Craig Breedlove site is at http://www.spiritofamerica.com/. I
couldn't get on it tonight - site busy. He has not made any high speed
runs yet, still testing after the accident last year.
Should be an interesting week at Black Rock NV.
