On Sunday, Driver Ric Byrnes made a qualification run at over 161 mph with the hydrogen fuel cell-powered Fusion. Now the team will be spending the rest of this week working their way up to over 200 mph as they try to establish a land speed record for a production-bodied fuel cell car. The Ford team is also working with the Ohio State University team who are trying to get their Buckeye Bullet 2 streamliner up over 350mph.
