Hey Neil, just dawned on me that the "push start vehicle" photo you tried to
attach was probably the bright yellow front-end loader that they had re-geared
to do 60 mph???

Hi Neil, Its not that I don't recongnize Mr. Green's past accomplishments. Nor
can I ignore the possibilities of the team. It just seems that a 32% (that's
1.3106 times your current record) seems a little optimistic, don't you think?
32% is what? 1/3 ? I guess a lot of records are broken by over 30%, I didn't
check the books. Godspeed! David;Bonneville. I had an opportunity to talk to
Andy and their chief aerodynamicist Ron Ayers about that car-- How about this
for a push- start vehicle? That's Colin Bond driving. Their previous absolute
speed record holding Mach 1 jet car, Thrust SSC, broke the sound barrier at
the Black Rock Desert in NV. If anyone can do 1,000mph they can. Both of them
are really good guys and their team knows what they are doing. Regards, Neil
