The worlds fastest U-turn 675 mph
 
The Sonic Arrow, speed run attempt on the salt flats.

start 4 miles before the 1 mile speed trap.

be sure your spotter clearly states, 15 knot crosswind, and don't assume you heard 1.5 knots.

:eek:

Sphincter clamping moment of utter terror... And he's like "oh hey, looks like we have a bit of work to do. You guys want to go to lunch?"

That same thing happened to me last week. A little Scandanavian Flick, and I was in like Flynn and back on the throttle.

Giant brass cajones or serious lack of imagination.

Great video. It's a shame he never got that record.

Respect Mr Breedlove.

curious, I ran the numbers.


675 mph is a THOUSAND FEET PER SECOND


so, like doing the 1/4 mile drags in 1 second at speed.
