well i had alot of bad luck when i went to uk when i got to england i tried the electronics on the car and everything was going crazy i tried to find some jr crystals but couldnt find any so i had to buy a new radio and receiver when i got to the races the engine would only rev up to 120,000 when it should be reving 160,000 my friend told me that the power is at the top end thats why i was only doing 45 mph i had to set the car with the new radio and engine then more bad luck i hadint got the setting book with me but at last today i set the car and radio up and got 160,000 full power as you can see and hear in the video it is reving and screaming my wish was always to reach the 100mph maybe now i can do it 45mph is the record for turbine cars soon ill be breaking that record for sure

Hi Kennazo: This is a amazing project, the turbine sounds great. Now that you've learned a lot about turbines ....... have you considered repackaging everything into a new body shell something like the Spirit of America, or a similar land speed record car:


This would be a great project for the coming rainy winter months in Malta.

Ken: Look at it another way .... maybe a Spirit of America type body will get you to 100 mph

Well today we went and did some testing with the car we even did 2 doghnuts with the car . After we went to the qaurter mile track and asked if we could test the car on a day when there were no cars racing they said what car have you got i said a jet car ( at first they were laughing )they said can you start it up now i said yes so they closed the track for the real cars i did a couple of runs in the road beside the track there were about 500 people they were all claping and cheering i was shaking like hell lol then one of the guys told me to run it on the real track i said ok and i did ill be going to the races to do shows they even gave me a vip ticket and crew ticket two problems my son did not take a video at the quarter mile track and second the car is running out of range it is faster for sure they want to give it a quarter mile test so they can give me the paper strip with all of the data here s the test run in another road http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_HUwP2H544

Ken: This is great news. All the talk about jet cars / Land Speed Record cars got me thinking and yesterday I started converting one of my 1/4 scale bikes into a LSR Streamilne bike. Here's a picture I'm using for inspiration
