  • Umm...after putting this much effort into this..can anyone take the time to properly video tape the friggin' run. I have seen birthday parties shot with more professionalism.

  • Whatever. Go watch another video then, there are plenty. You're right-- I didn't make this video like a professional, I didn't put in any effort, I made it with a hand-held consumer camera.

  • there will be no easy way to beat the thrust ssc.Those people are brilliant engineers with money.I'm american and it's true we under estimate others and try it cheap {gov. excluded}.I think the record is safe for years.Hope i am wrong.I wish them all luck !

  • @gamblemadman no kidding, now imagine if you put and add on that video... you would make like a half a million bucks in one day, man you are getting me thinking... The revenue from youtube might be enough to cover the fuel...'

  • @Choperpilot2b Yup ... you would get 500,000,000 views on the first day lol.

    I'd definately favourite that video.

  • @gamblemadman ya, probably not, still, just a $500,000,000 idea...

    Might get a good youtube vid out of it...

  • @Choperpilot2b LOL.

    Reaching MACH 6 with wheels on the ground just aint gonna happen ... ever.

    But that would be an awesome sight to see.

  • @Cycling83Rev And that makes you feel good, that says allot about your personality.

  • cant you just take an X-15 and put wheels on it? that thing goes MACH 6 (that is 6 times the speed of sound for those who are new the high speeds...

  • How fast? Looks like, hmm about 3 mph! Lol they failed.

  • By the time they actually have this ready to go Bloodhound SSC will have set a new record. Think they should just give up.

  • i no two of the volunteers chad mcvaye andburner mcvaye

    the north american eagle is based in skagit washington at a small air strip

  • @JT100UK Thrust SSC was also built on a "shoe-string budget". The difference between Thurst SSC and NAE (and "Spirit of America") is that, instead of just building blind, the design was worked on first and only built once a viable and reasonably safe solution was available.

    SoA and NAE are both machines that have been built with little analysis beyond educated guesses. SoA nearly killed Craig Breedlove, I hope that nothing bad happens to the NAE driver.
