Andy Green Sets New Speed Record at Bonneville Salt Flats
British driver Andy Green has established a new speed record during a test run at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Green noted that the cockpit conditions during this attempt were notably warmer than those experienced in his previous 1997 jet-powered vehicle runs.
Andy Green, a prominent figure in high-speed land racing, successfully completed a new speed record attempt at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah this past Tuesday. The event marks another milestone in Green's career, which is historically associated with his record-breaking performances in jet-powered vehicles.
Following the run, Green provided brief commentary on the physical experience of operating the vehicle, noting that the interior temperature of the car was 'probably a little hotter' than the conditions he encountered during his historic 1997 speed runs. While the report confirms the successful completion of the speed attempt, it does not provide specific technical data regarding the exact speed achieved or the specific engineering specifications of the vehicle used in this particular test. The event continues the long-standing tradition of using the Utah salt flats as a primary location for land speed record attempts due to the unique surface conditions that allow for high-velocity testing.
