High-Speed Demonstrator: The WMC250EV by @whitemotorcycleconcepts — a 250-mph semi-streamliner designed to set a new British record later this year and attempt the Electric Semi Streamliner World Record on the Salar de Uyuni salt flat in Bolivia in 2022. Tested at the MIRA wind tunnel with Guy Martin’s 860-hp Hayabusa, where the “V-Air” hollow duct reduced drag by 70%. Full story today on BikeBound: https://www.bikebound.com/2021/07/08/wmc250ev/

This is by far the best story of #speedweek2020 @frank2thesilva finally gets the opportunity to race his father’s #gotsalt car. For those of you who do not race #landspeed, you are required by the #SCTA to license up in 25 mph incriminates. This ensures the safety and the skill of the driver. Well, my friend Frank has never driven his father’s car before and made his first licensing run of 150 MPH on Saturday morning. Now, fast forward to today. Frank is in impound running on a 344 MPH record with a speed of 349 MPH! How is that for an incredibly #positivestory! #bonnevillesaltflats #speedweek #metalandspeed #badassoftheweek #scta #utahrules https://www.instagram.com/p/CDxxRWqHPQ3/?igshid=bzhw4epzmzcd

We have an interesting piece of history today. We are selling the nose off of ferrari 512M #1020 Built for Le Mans in 1971 and later used for the Sept., 1974 Bonneville World Speed record runs with Luigi Chinetti Jr., Graham Hill and Paul Newman at the wheel. Note the 17 air vent holes cut just behind the wheels to allow air to escape from under the nose at high speed. In Sept., 1974 the NART team drivers set five speed and endurance records with 512 M s/n 1020 including 174.759 MPH for 10k unlimited, 10k international and 10k US class with Coco driving and a later run of 10 miles at 174.763 giving 10 mph international class C and 10 mph national class C. I true piece of history and work of art.

Jessica Combs "the fastest woman on four wheels" 

(July 27, 1980 – August 27, 2019)

Racer, TV personality, and certified bad-ass car builder Jessi Combs died driving a jet-powered car in a land speed-record attempt. 

The accident took place at the North American Eagle Supersonic Speed Challenge held near Fields, Oregon. 

She was no stranger to high-speed runs, having earned the title of “fastest woman on four wheels” after topping 398 mph at the same event back in 2013 and broke her own record in 2016.
