North American Eagle
World Land Speed Record Challenger
About
Started in 1998 by two guys with nothing more than an idea.
The North American Eagle project began as nothing more than an idea. It became the love and passion of two people, Ed and Keith. That idea was to take a jet fighter, and turn it into the fastest racing machine in history.
When all of this started, it really was nothing more than a few guys in a garage, scraping paint and shaping sheets of metal. Every step of putting the vehicle together has made the dream just a little more real. Now we move onto the ultimate goal of going supersonic.
