Why do people feel the need to set land speed records in truck stops?
Was parked at a loves today for my 30, walking across the lot and some boob comes rippin around the corner doin about 30mph just to get to a nearly empty lot that he couldn’t figure out how to back into anyway. I have no idea what people are trying to accomplish when they fly through the lot like that. Be courteous to your fellow drivers and keep it safe out there.

This badass is Jacqueline Cochran. Air racer, record setter, WASP, first woman to land and take off from an aircraft carrier, first woman to fly supersonic, at one point held more speed and altitude records than any other pilot, male or female. We need more badasses like her. (Photos: wikipedia) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/J…

Did you know the official land-speed record is 1,227.985 km/h?!!
The official land-speed record (measured over one mile) is 1,227.985 km/h (763.035 mi/h) (Mach 1.020), set by Andy Green (UK) on 15 October 1997 in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA, in Thrust SSC.
Although Thrust SSC is the first car to break the sound barrier, it is alleged that Budweiser Rocket Car, driven by Stan Barrett (US), reached a speed of 1,190.377 km/h (739.666 mi/h) at Edwards Air Force Base, California, USA, on 17 December 17 1979. However, the published speed of Mach 1.0106 was not officially sanctioned by the USAF, as the Digital Instrument Radar was not calibrated or certified. The radar information was not generated using the vehicle directly but by an operator aiming aiming a dish using a TV screen.
