This is one of the coolest LSR record cars. It's electric powered. A two-way average of 245.524 mph.
The driver, Pat Rummerfeld is a quadrapalegic!
He was paralyzed from the neck down in a car accident at about age 20. He decided he didn't want to be paralyzed, and after working for months, was able to walk again. doctor still can't explain his recovery. He runs full marathons to keep in shape.

I like that guy!!!
Don't know if you knew this or not, but in 1991 I was told by doctors that I would be completely paralyzed in both arms within 5 years. Guess what! It's been 13 years! And they just call it an unexplained miracle! I love it. It's GOD!
