Check out this exciting story in The New York Times about Ed Shandle, IBM alumnus, who aims to break the land speed record in the car he built from the body of a fighter plane.
This summer, Ed and his partner "intend to take the North American Eagle to the hardpan desert at Black Rock, Nev., and run it through a measured mile to set a new land speed record of about 800 miles per hour, 45 miles per hour faster than the speed of sound. Mr. Shadle is the driver."
Ed's 67 years old and a retired IBM engineer....amazing!
I just watched the movie The World's Fastest Indian a few weeks ago...Ed's story totally reminds me of it!
