Now that the discussion on the Budweiser Rocket got going, I have a
small question on it. I know that information is scarce and that all
facts apparently are doubtful to say the least, but still. I don't
really care whether or not Budweiser Rocket has soundly broken that
barrier, but what does interest me is whether any readings were taken on
the way the air behaved around the body of the vehicle. Does anyone
know? Is there any photographic material showing the car at top speed?
 
I am just really curious whether they came across the same air-forces
ThrustSSC came across. After all their body shape was very different...
