11/13/14 ~Plane v. Racecar

For some time, racecars have raced airplanes as newstories/PR –– starting with Eddie Rickenbacher, later Villeneuve, Vettel, Lotus (Ducati has done them) etc. even Top Gear -- YouTube has a large group of them, and these races have been around for years.



Yesterday Jason was flying, right seat - permission asked to fly over and along the Space Shuttle landing Strip @ Kennedy Space Port - permission was granted BUT cleared only for 500 feet (....hoping for 100 as granted to others in the past) and because



“ …. Please be aware of racecar on the runway …” ????



Sure enough a view of the fourth picture shows a transporter in the at site Shuttle “garage” and out comes Jimmy Johnson's # 48 -- never missing an opportunity to race – the chase was on - the Car well exceeding 200 mph on the runway – turned around and went back – great fun in the afternoon chasing it up and down the runway – sorry – I never did anything that kool !!!!- :thumbsup:
