Give me a few years guys and gal. Have to get bored with land speed first. Not even close yet. Just got a mini lathe to machine more of my own parts and I'm having a gas making some trick stuff to make my motor faster and stronger. Working to break 100mph (best so far is 95.6) and break a record this year with a 60 year old 250cc bike on nitrous.

Deb, we are starting to plan out a travel trailer to tow behind my race hauler ambulance. Looking for future opportunities to use it. Mach 2.6? Yeow! Watching rocket launches in the desert sounds like an excellent one.  Are the events friendly to the public coming out to watch?

If you want to come out to the BlackRock desert the Balls launch is the end of September ( 24,25 26).    You would be welcome.  I run that event (the launch director)  so if you are interested contact me

Maybe you could talk him into moving the wedding down south?

Wow, Deb!  I was impressed with the night light, but the whole rocket thing is just AWESOME!   Makes building a Pearl 2 phono stage look pretty simple.  Certainly different levels of magnitude on display here...
