Bonneville does rock! If they really do take that car back next year, I wanna go again. Did you notice in the video, at 10:50, when they display the official record on the screen over the car running down the course, they only list the replacement driver? Both drivers contributed to the average, both runs exceeded the previous record. I guess if you storm out of a team and expose them to the risk of losing, they might have the right to exclude you from the record book.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
