    Very cool! Also, very deceptive how fast he was moving until the discoloured patches on the salt were flicking by. Awesome.
    Gave a good view of the, obviously necessary, methodical crew duties immediately before and after the run. Thanks.

    We saw him make that run at bonneville, it was absolutely amazing seeing that streamliner move across the salt that fast. Thats one of the greatest in dash videos iv seen! Thanks for posting!

    600+ feet per second. Pretty damn fast on the ground! 426 mph was fast for a WWll era plane.

    Yea, he is a rich guy, but it takes a hell of alot more than money to do that. Absolutely outstanding effort and an amazing finish.

    That was slick! If he would follow Richard Branson's path and maybe rent that out for people to attempt to get into the 400 MPH club, I would be robbing a bank as we speak. LOL
