someone forgot to play it safe and not lock up their brakes while racing up Pike's.... instead, they went for a small aircraft pilot's license, solo

 

JCB has completed testing of its hydrogen-powered land speed record JCB Hydromax car ahead of its attempt to break the land speed record later this summer at Bonneville (thank you George)

The test runs took place at RAF Wittering in Cambridgeshire with Andy Green behind the wheel. The testing saw speeds increase from 177mph to 208mph

The 32-foot Hydromax car is powered by a powertrain developed in-house that combines two engines producing a combined 1,600bhp. The engines are “very similar” to those that feature in JCB’s own production-based hydrogen diggers, but have been enhanced by the need for speed.

I was there when the family driving this arrived at the grocery store... great 68, 327, 4 barrel and 4 speed

 

seen at 6:17 am on the drive to work. I think someone's car caught on fire, and exploded. I was nowhere near to see what happened... but that smoke was HOT and went straight up to the lowest clouds, then then kept rising

 the top of that smoke, rose through the cloud cover

the tractor chicken race in Footloose, I'd forgotten about this... but am rewatching the movie right now... I haven't seen it since the 80s
