I thought the Blue Flame went over 600 mph back in the 70s. 400 would be impressive in something street legal, but that banana is not.

Right. The record is for the "hydrogen powered" bit.

Not quite the same.

I remember Craig Breedlove going 407 mph back in 1963.

Gary Gablich in The Blue Flame. One of my favorite ‘scratch” models. I caught the bug way back when Craig Breedlove was King of the Salt Flats.
