kallend 2,146 #12 March 14, 2005 QuoteThese guys were running a few trials at our runway over the weekend. www.landspeed.com Great folks and a really cool car. Looks like a rip-off of Gabelich's car (designed by a team of our students) www.bluebird-electric.net/blue_flame.htm. We still have the model shown in the picture stored somewhere in our department. Campbell did 300mph in 1935. I don't think those rear wheels will go 800.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

cocheese 0 #17 March 14, 2005 Speed is very addictive. That part sucks. The more you speed, the more you need to get off. I feel sorry for these guys because everything after this will suck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EricTheRed 0 #20 March 15, 2005 Those wheels are only forthe runway. There is a different suspension system using solid aluminum wheels currently in test for the salt flats. I was talking to one of the engineers of the wheel/braking subsystem and it sounds like they might have their shit together.illegible usually Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
