Mike - the ThrustSSC site is at http://www.thrustssc.digital.co.uk/
Click on 'Click here to explore this site' then Latest News then scroll down to
'Shockwave On The Black Rock (7th October)'
'Tomorrows World' had a report on the record runs, the sonic bangs were much
more
evident and very impressive. I am wondering whether some automatic volume
control
systems somewhere on the News broadcasts had emsaculated them.
Cheers,
