Re: Ride along at 303 MPH with Jerry Kugel.
Yep, 300 mph is 1 mile in 12 seconds. It'll get your blood moving. 8)
As far as how it feels, listen to the engine speed & tire slip as Joe reaches to shift to 4th gear. After the 3 time he just went ahead and pulled the handle.
The salt was quite rough and damp that year, 1999.
Here's a picture of the car with all of us. From the left Jerry, Joe, & Jeff Kugel, & myself.
Joe & I after the record pass.
And I got to drive the car into the Bonneville 200 mph club in 2000.
The engine in the car, yes it's all steel with working doors & even power windows.
And a picture of the little engine that did. 368" on gasoline.
There are very few people in this world who's opinion I value, you are not one of them.
