[Land-speed] New LSR

[Glen Barrett]

During the runs I didn't see any timing traps or any mention of how it was 
timed. GPS maybe but they were looking at something with a digital readout 
at the back of the vehicle. The head on view of it showed it getting a 
little crossed up as well. The wheel on a stick is a heck of a cantilever vs 
the size and surface area of the sail ( vertical wing ) Looked like he was 
getting bounced around inside as well. Didn't see any  harness.
