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.  https://youtu.be/tvdAw8dJ9cU?t=332

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?"

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.
