66.0mph kite buggy

Please note.....

I have since been advised that my record of 66.0mph does NOT qualify as the worlds fasted de-power kite in a buggy. This honour belongs to the late Charles AJ Jackson, aka "Action Jackson" of the USA with a speed of 67.8mph at the NABX event in 2009 held at the Ivanpah dry lake in California using a 6m Phantom .
Thankyou.

Did it seem that fast in the buggy?

@drummerboy768. Haha. Thanks!

It's fair to say that the curved lens effect of the GoPro makes it look faster on screen as I disappear into the distance. I actually remember it being disappointingly slow oddly enough. I guess I'd compare it to being in a car crash where time slows down as the adrenaline kicks in. The greatest sensation of speed was at the very beginning of each run where I reached my top speed within 40/50 meters.
