Editing Thrust2 (section)

==Overview of the results achieved with Thrust2==
On 4 October 1983, the car reached a top speed of {{convert|650.88|mi/h|km/h|2|abbr=on}} and broke the record at {{convert|633.468|mi/h|km/h|3|abbr=on}} (average speed of two runs within one hour).

[[KTVN|KTVN TV]] ([[Reno]], [[Nevada]]) reporter/photographers Michael Hagerty and Gary Martin covered the record setting attempt in the days leading up to the record. The car was unceremoniously stored under a tarpaulin in the only automotive garage at Black Rock desert when it wasn't being worked on by the team. A propane torch was used to burn the line straight down the hard cracked dirt of the desert for the driver to follow. No other cars were allowed to approach the race track except on the perpendicular lest the driver accidentally follow those car tracks as a different path through the measured mile.

In the record attempt on October 3, the following results were achieved in detail:<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.gregwapling.com/hotrod/land-speed-racing-history/land-speed-racing-richard-noble.html|title=Richard Noble - Land Speed Racing History}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.gregwapling.com/hotrod/land-speed-racing-history/land-speed-racing-thrust2.html|title=Thrust 2 - Land Speed Racing History}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://landspeedrecord.org/thrust-2-richard-noble/|title=Thrust 2 - Richard Noble • Land Speed Record}}</ref>
