[Land-speed] Fw: Ford's Hydrogen 999 racer shooting for fuel cell land speed record > Hybrid News

[Jon Amo]

Probably the first was Ben Jordan from Denver Colorado, I think in 1980 give
or take a year, ran a Hydrogen powered Abarth... Went like 79 mph. Then
there was the Hydrogen powered Corbra a few years ago at WOS meet. That is
all I recall...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't 6 or 8 hydrogen powered cars run at
Speedweek some years ago. Kind of had their own competion going within the
rest of the meet. None of them blew up and i don't remember them being
treated differently. I know Ford has been there before with that Lincoln
deal ( What Every Luxery Car Should Be - Fast) and I remember some guys from
the Canada foundry running a V6 roadster with a Blower telling me they were
testing different blocks because there was a Blown Tbird super coup comming
out, and Ford wanted front main bearing fauliers fixed.
