Sorry for the offtopic post, but I thought some of the folks might like to know a little more about land yachts.
James,
I was in Oshkosh Wisconsin in 2001, and saw a mast above one of the hangars at the airport. My buddy and I had to go check it out. Miss Wisconsin (the power of cheese) was being fitted to try a land speed record out in the Black Rock desert. At that time of the test, the winds were not very favorable and I don't think they broke their record of over 170mph, but they felt that over 200 was attainable.
It would be very scary.
