I think Warby is amazing to have built a record jet hydro from a simple sketch in his back yard with and set a record of 317.6 mph :eek::eek:that still stands and wiped out teams with the ginormous funds and resources. Reminds me of the Burt Munro who built his fastest Indian and set the Bonneville motorcycle speed record with a 47 year old bike. See the movie if you haven't, Anthony Hopkins stars
