I recently came accross someone stating this car has recently run a 450.1 mph terminal speed over the 1/4.
Anyone have anymore info?

Hmmm I wouldnt fancy doing 450mph in a glorified go kart chassis. Fair play to them though hes got bigger balls than me

That web site has been saying that for at least three years. Still no action.

Although the rocket go-kart has not run yet (to my knowledge),
don´t count this swiss team out.
At least they have prooved they can build & handle
various exhibition and record-vehilcles,
and they also prooved that they are utter speed junkies......
I have seen the "Water Thunder" go-kart do 213mph in 2,5 sec,
it was awesome (and we all got wet on the starting area).
Just take a look at driver Andy Ochsner´s (drove a CC Dragster in the 80/90s) Page,

more of Arnold Nerachers products and ideas can be seen here :

Not real drag racing, OK, but fine construction work and years of expertise.
Cheers,

P.S.: Who is Julian Bartelett, the brit jet mountainbiker to do 126 mph in 6 sec on the 1/8mile ?
I have seen this bike (or its predecessor) doing 140mph on the 1/4mile,
driven by Donald Pottier, http://www.duckteam.fr/velofusee.htm
