This winter, Waldo Stakes will begin testing his "Sonic Wind" rocket sled on a frozen lake in central Wisconsin.
Stakes' is a pioneer in land speed racing, choosing to run on a frozen lake instead of a salt flat or dry lake bed, using a rocket-powered composite "sled" instead of traditional jet aircraft engines.
Over the next 5 years or so, Stakes hopes to break numerous land speed records and milestones, including the speed of sound, the world land speed record, the 800mph, 900mph, and, maybe, the 1000mph barrier.
