ThrustSSC run 61 (supersonic) - tail view with subtitles and extra information
My gratitude goes to Andy Green for helping with the 4 or 5 bits of this video which I could not understand. Thanks Andy!
Who: Andy Green
What: Going supersonic on land
When: 13th October 1997 at 11:23 AM
Where: Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA
Why: Because they dared to do what everyone said could not be done!
Thrust SSC's 61st run was the first properly supersonic run which Thrust SCC did, going beyond the target speed of 715mph indicated (750mph true) to 725mph indicated (760mph true).
This was a warm-up for the main event. Later that same day the Thrust team attempted to create the first supersonic World Land Speed Record. To set a World Land Speed Record you need to complete 2 runs in opposite directions within 60 minutes. On the first run a double parachute failure created a 2 mile overrun requiring a long tow back to the start line, Andy was about 40 seconds too late coming back across the measured mile.
2 days later they tried again and were successful, setting the first ever supersonic World Land Speed record:
763.035 mph
1227.723 km/h
Mach 1.020

    It's sad that not many people can actually comprehend how crazy it is to do 700 mph on land. All i see is a lot of comments saying this plane is faster that planes is faster, It would be so much easier to get a plane to do 700 miles an hour in comparison to a wheeled vehicle. This was 1997 and the record still stands for a reason.....

      ⁠@@catolegQuestion is whether or not it’ll happen in laszlosworld’s lifetime We could probably beat it fairly easily, the issue is getting enough money to make that happen. I for one wish we lived in a world where instead of spending trillions on war machines, people spent stupid amounts of money on finding out just how much we can accomplish.

      Chances are if a team would go on a press tour with a car like that today, some "eco-activists" (terrorists) would throw buckets of orange paint into the engines and then glue themselves to the canopy.

    This is the second car to achieve supersonic speed. Although unofficial, the Budweiser rocket car did achieve a supersonic speed. If just barely in 1979. And just because it wasn’t made official doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Out of bias all rocket car records were removed from the record books after the Budweiser rocket car. Including the record set by the blue flame car in 1970.

      Stop coping ya Yankie Doodle Dumbass. The Budweiser Rocket never broke the sound barrier. The first (and still only) car driven by a human being to break that barrier (and did so multiple times was Thrust SSC in 1997.
