I remember a go kart with a Turbinique engine that ran 10s or less in the 1/4 mile at OCIR in the 70s.
There were multiple pictures in HOT ROD magazine of this the day I watched the run. The driver had no idea the kart was always about an inch above the asphalt on each run. He was steering with the air than ran next to the front wheels. Once he saw the pictures in HOT ROD... He never drove it again. Thats the rumor anyway...... And YUP i did see it run... Was extremely kewl......

Is that a ram-jet they are firing up on that scooter? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
I notice NOBODY is wearing hearing protection. Yikes. Ram-jets are LOUD! This is cool stuff. (insane = cool). -Ben M. ps - When the peroxide kart was posted last year one of the videos showed it blowing up. Anybody know the story of the aftermath? |

There was a story on Fifth Gear a BBC program on Speed channel about a kart that set a land speed record for karts. It used a starter turbine used to start the turbines on the Thrust SST running on kerosene. Thet had bought the turbine but couldn't get any diagrams for because they were still classified in the British AF.
