From the remarks accompanying the video:
The first run of the new land speed record for a naturally-aspirated, wheel-driven car. Record was set September 21st, 2010 at the Bonneville Salt Flats with Charles Nearburg driving. Orange signs whizzing by on the left side indicate miles - recorded speed is an average between mile 5 and mile 6. On this run the average was 416.90 mph. (click the pic for a MUCH larger version).The Spirit of Rett set a new world land speed record for a naturally-aspirated (as opposed to super- or turbocharged) single-engine car, which is now 414.316 mph... about 280 mph faster than I've ever driven. The old record stood for 45 years. More here.
