Oh yeah, forgot to mention, we were sharing space with these guys working in a hangar onsite:

They had rented the salt flats for a week, and were getting ready for a run. The head designer told us they tested out at 367mph, but were concerned about making the live run since the tires were *only rated for 300mph* (even though Goodyear had tested them to 350).
