The driver that crashed at 38:33 (Leo Hess) sustained serious but non life threatening injuries. Broken femur, shattered knees and 2 broken ankles. It took him over 9 months to start walking again. He owns a Harley fab shop in my home town Sioux Falls SD.

@@WillChandlerFLD120 I can say i have driven the salt and in a dragster the speed is only for a micro second. On the salt it's entirely different .You have to maintain or increase your fastest speed for five miles .At those speeds you can feel the smallest of faults in the cars design. One thing I found was my helmet filling with compressed air over 120 MPH. from the cars slipstream . Even little things like that make Land speed racing different world to Drag racing.

Bottom line the fastest wheel driven land speed streamliner is the vesco turbinator that ran 493mph at the Bonneville salt flats in 2018 with an exit speed of 503mph. They where not able to make a return run for the record because the event got rained out. So far since 2018 no one has gone faster because the salt is almost gone from the race area where there was the long course of 13 miles is now down to 5 miles for this years speed week. All the rest of the land speed races at Bonneville this year where canceled because of rain.

I don't understand the title. The landspeed world record broke the 400 mph mark almost half a century ago. John Cobb did it in 1947 hitting 402 mph on a single pass. The first official record though belongs to Donald Campbell in 1964 hitting 403 mph. The current landspeed record belongs to Andy Green driving the ThrustSSC hitting 760 mph in 1997. Mr. Green was the first person to break the sound barrier on land.

going back to immediate post WW2 there were more than a few ex military aircraft engineers involved in the land speed racing. One of the first things tried were the shells off aircraft drop tanks to envelope a car to make it faster ,so there was plenty of knowledge then to to determine lift etc > for those who weren't near other racers during the year long buildup time ,the best source of Info was the SCTA monthly papaer which always contained masses of info for builders based on the experiences of others.Those cars in this vid are the results of 70 plus years of land speed racing so lift is always being accounted for.
