Congratulations to Richard and his crew! I was out at Ivanpah a few years ago and got to watch Bob Schumacher and Dill attempt to break their own previous record of 116 mph. That was some site. Details at http://www.greenbird.co.uk/ and http://blog.greenbird.co.uk/ Bob and Bob can the Iron Duck go 150?
