Anyone else get goosebumps when Burt Munro opens the throttle on his "handling run" and leaves the doubters for dead in "The Worlds Fastest Indian"

I do. I wish I was there to see it

Yeah, and also when I watch the video of the Thrust SSC doing the land speed record, it's more the audio than the video, the calm amongst the potential for chaos is amazing.

Oh Yeah!!! Try the SSC simulator ride at the Coventry Road Transport Museum, for a very realistic experience. I was amazed to see how hard Andy Green had to steer, in order to correct Thrust SSC's "drift" away from the marked centre line.

Ih his cockpit, there was a most important signal light. It lit up at the start of the measured mile, and went out at the end. Am still stunned by the breathtaking speed with which it all happened. In fact, I'd like to go back for another go.
