Image description

ThrustSSC hits 719.137 miles per hour in its second run on the Black Rock Desert September 23 near Gerlach, exceeding the world land speed record of 633mph, but once again computer difficulties prevented two runs within an hour, disqualifying the car from record speed. On ThrustSSC's first run a computer failure prevented an quick turnaround and on the second run, the parachutes failed to open forcing a "hot brakes" stop with the brakes reaching 800 degrees. ThrustSSC will not run September 24. USA SPEED
