On a side note
I would highly recommend reading Thrust by Richard Noble, which tells the story of the development of Thrust 2 and SSC. I hadn't realised what a tinpot, men in sheds type development it was. As I recall when after getting the land speed record in Thrust 2, they ran it through a computer model and discovered it was 2mph from flipping. In some ways I feel the development of Bloodhound was doomed because it was too corporate.

Just for the Record is also a good read on Thrust 2, and chunks of it seem to have been posted here:
