Hi, my name is Rick, and I'm having a mid-life speed crisis!

Feels a bit better to have said that, got it out of the system etc... but if you've seen the story on the main Evo page you'll know that in the coming weeks I'm going to take a car I've never driven to it, and my absolute limits on a surface of which I've no experience. Yup, I'm going to celebrate turning 40 by trying to break a Land Speed Record at over 300mph.

It's not going to be easy, and it's not going to be safe. And we are not doing it for any other reason than the fact it's there.

I'll be blogging on here direct from the Salt starting with tech inspection on Aug 14th, then my rookie meeting and licence passes all the way up to, hopefully, making a run at the record sometime in the middle of the following week (18th or 19th).

Off to Scotland later this week for the final pow wow with the team and to persuade them to travel light (as budget only extends to one small hire car)!

Think fast thoughts for us!
Cheers
Rick
