The sand was hot, my face was dripping with sweat. Taking a glass of water, I looked out at the vast open desert that will be beneath me in just a few moments. Preparing for years, I stepped in and sat down. Turning the knobs and adjusting the switches, I turned on the ignition. The giant dual engines came to life with a huge roar accompanied by a slight hiss. Sand swept across the sky, creating a nasty dust storm. “30 seconds to launch!!” » a man shouted from behind several computer screens into the headset. When the throttle was pulled, no one was ready for what was going to happen next. “The first time trial is about to begin, anyone on the track must evacuate immediately to the necessary safety zone! The first time trial will start in two minutes. The racecourse loudspeaker announces. Jesse Glenn, a British RAF pilot, was one of the contenders.

No one can predict what will come next, whether it's a new record or breaking the sound barrier. Whatever it is, I'll be ready.
