"Jeremy, we are in one of our colonies" What a one of the most pure British thing that I ever heard 😂

A lot of these cars represent more than one generation of hot rodders, some of them have been running out there for 30,40, or 50 years.

200 is terrifying on that. It's terrifying on pavement, but that salt is only "Flat" from the air. The vibration is so bad, you can't really see.

It still amazes me when people think going fast at Bonneville is easy. The lack of traction, density of altitude easily above 5500 feet over sea level, 7 to 10 mile cross winds and this year smoke. Jeremy should try an open motorcycle at speed with wind trying to rip your head off....never mind I saw Jeremy on a moped in Vietnam 🇻🇳 😁😁

He had to do a lot more than that. There are rookie runs at limited speed as you build up to that run and license.

@1958HHH 11 ай бұрын

Calling B.S. With a rookie run and a license runs starting at 125mph (need to run between 125-149mph) then a new class license for every 25mph. It would take a minimum of 5 runs to be able to go over 200mph. So this is a nice fiction puff piece.

'Geräuschvolles Abschnurren des Lebensrestes' - der alte Thomas Mann im Tagebuch der letzten beiden Lebensjahre - 'wenn herausragende Einzelne sich anschicken von der Weltbühne abzutreten, dann ist das schon einmal so'. Eine kluge Selbstbemerkung von Herrn Thomas Mann er hatte Selbsteinsicht. Nachbemerung: Und wenn Europa weiterleben möchte, dann muss es sich anderen Bündnispartnern und gesunder, neuer Zukunft rechtzeitig zuwenden, falls die USA nun wirklich untergehen? Das ist eben so. Bereits der Gedankengang ist nützlich, richtig und hilfreich. ... Eine Lektion aus der deutschen Geschichte übrigens auch - richtigerweise wollte das deutsche Volk an der totalen Niederlage der Nazis nie teilhaben. Wie wohl Herr Hitler es dazu zwingen wollte, alles dafür tat, sogar 'deception am eigenen Volk'. Am (mit fast allen Mitteln geübten) Zwang, am Untergang teilzuhaben, erkennt man das Faschistoide und Verbrecherische - auch

They are unsafe for speed records, since they can only hold that power for the length of the drag strip, then they blow up, making it very hard to regain control afterwards. These are for stable high power applications.
