Welcome to GALPOT Weekly #01/13 a review of the last seven posts at "Gettin' a li'l psycho on tyres", I hope the new marginally more rational GALPOT Weekly numbering system does not disturb the peace too much.
2013 is scheduled for a Land Speed Record (LSR) attempt at rainging the current LSR of 760.343 miles per hour to over 1000 mph by the Bristol based Bloodhound SSC team guided by present LSR holders, Richard Noble and 'driver' Wing Commander Andy Green, who set the current record with the ThrustSSC at Black Rock in 1997. As a small token of appreciation for an obscenely modest contribution to Blooddhound SSC project the "psychoontyres" legend on the tailfin of the Bloodhound SSC vehicle when it makes its LSR attempt. Find out how you too can contribute to the Bloodhound SSC Tailfin Program by
