I think you guys are right. Another futile attempt with a salvaged piece of aluminum tube. I think it would make a better Weiner Mobile for Oscar Mayar. The F104 specs shows it at 1037 mph at 50,000 feet. Not a hell of a lot faster than what they're trying to do on the ground but the Density Altitude, compressibility, and all that other neat crap that makes a jet aircraft perform at altitude just doesn't work on the ground and then you add the friction of wheels. I would think the engineers would have it all figgered out but I'd bet it pukes out on the attempt.
Like Lone Star mentioned, that Brit design was "Da Kind" and it worked!
