Since 1898 certain men have sought to travel faster than their fellows. The land speed record is more than just a battle of distance against time, it is a human story, with the inevitable failures, tragedies and successes. Today more than ever, getting an advanced vehicle to Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, or the Black Rock Desert in Nevada is an expensive undertaking requiring a resourcefulness that defies the majority. None of the successful contenders has ever taken the record lightly, nor easily and this book traces man's pursuit of speed since the birth of the motor car and tells more about those who succeeded and those who did not. About the author David Tremayne is the Executive Editor and Grand Prix correspondent of Motoring News and Grand Prix correspondent for The Observer. He first interviewed Richard Noble about Project Thrust and covered the team's American land speed record attempts from 1981 to 1983, in the latter acting as the team's Public and Press Relations Manager Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
