    I used to have one of these -- it was fun to have a freeway chase with the local cops - if they had caught me they estimated the ticket would have cost me about $987,000,000 - you just have to keep the pedal to the metal and don't take too long at the gas station.

      It's obvious that you're joking, but rocket cars don't have throttle pedal

    Why didn't they turn it round for the other direction also, then, to make it an Official Record, as the Brits did in their - speed of sound "car"?

      The Australian try also continues still, but haven't reached an actual test

      The rules are you have to turn around and go the other way within 1 hour. It took the Budweiser Rocket Car 3 hours to refuel.

    "This is the Budweiser Rocket Car, the first car to break the speed of sound" claiming to break... not data was released so even unofficial record cannot be considered

    It might be unofficial, but Andy Green is only the first on paper, not in reality.. Stan was always the first to break the sound barrier on land.

      @@gravyboat2370 One said they heard it, the rocket produced a standing shockwave and a standing sonic boom from the rocket impulse. The sonic boom from the space shuttle is seldom heard by viewers because of the rocket, does that mean that the vehicle does not break the sound barrier?

      The real record is both ways, within 1 hour, to prove that wind direction doesn't factor into the record attempt
