Nevada Hwy 160 and new speed record

Statement from Jerod Shelby



He looks hurt way down deep in his guts on this video, so I don't think he was trying to hoax the world.
I watched the Misha and Robert video, and they made a convincing analysis based on known distance on the road and the time it took to cover it. They say the car topped out at 257 mph, so it's a fast car. Do I care if it goes 300? Not really. I can't used that kind of speed on any road course I've been on. And I'll never have the money to buy a Tuatara.

If he wants his speed record to be verified, he should invite the FIA, or BNI, or the SCTA to time the runs.
 
Long story short, 2 weekends ago SSC had another go at the record, but had some technical difficulties and didn't make it. They will try again after the holidays
