That's why it's called "Problem Child!"   :twisted:  

Still running the drag circuit today - it's amazing how well those safety cells work!   :thumleft:

When I see or read about going fast on the water, I always think about Donald Campbell, son of the renowned Sir Malcolm Campbell, he of Bluebird fame.  His goal was 300 MPH on water, he achieved a top speed of 320 MPH before is boat went airborne, unfortunately, killing him in the process...

Campbell's grandson (Malcolm as well) is a member of THT, I've had the pleasure of chatting with him. Very into boating, doesn't talk that much about his grandfather and great grandfathers feats...
