[Land-speed] Brit Steam Car Efforts

[drmayf]

Great!  I wonder why information like this is not up front?  The salt 
record is 145. I wonder if they can get it to run that fast at that 
density altitude?  The oxygen content for the flash steam boilers is a 
lot less than desireable for that kind of system.   Curious, will they 
need to run the car on the short course to show that it can qualify for 
the long course to run?  I suspect it is a slow speed gatherer like a 
turbojet engine.  That might eliminate the short courses.
