This huge event will inspire people all over the world and re-ignite the spirit of every American and Canadian. <BR><P> NAE is currently searching North America for a young man or woman that wants to be trained by veteran land speed racing driver and NAE co-owner, Ed Shadle, to be the fastest person on earth. NAE is seeking a person with experience in high-speed motorsports as well as experience being on camera and with speaking to large audiences. <BR><P> Land speed racing has been an important part of motorsports for over 100 years. About one billion people were watching the event live on television in 1997 when ThrustSSC broke the record. The ThrustSSC website received 3.5 million page hits that same day. Since then, seven television documentaries have been screened continuously about Thrust SSC and the car continues to receive 300,000 visitors a year at the Coventry Museum of Transportation. <BR><P> NAE is also seeking a sponsor interested in reaching the 18-40-year-old market through advertising and point-of-purchase marketing tie-ins, as well as through television coverage of the selection process, training, medium speed test runs, and the attempt of breaking the current land speed record of 763.055 mph. Sponsorship of the Fastest Person on Earth reality show may also be available. <BR><P> The North American Eagle is an innovative, purpose-built craft created for one goal: breaking the World Land Speed Record (LSR) which is so challenging to do, it has held for 11 years. If you are between 20 and 40 feel you have what it takes to be the fastest person on earth, send a 400 word email about your qualifications, along with a photo of yourself to landspeedracing(AT)gmail.com. (No phone calls please). <BR><P> Companies interested in learning more about sponsorship opportunities and production groups media interested in discussing a reality show, documentary, or news coverage opportunities, please contact Douglas Schwartz at landspeedracing(AT)gmail.com or call 408-554-8674 <BR><P> Source: North American Eagle </FONT> <BR><HR> <BR><P> <FONT FACE="Helvetica,arial" SIZE=1 COLOR="#000000">All materials published on this Web Site are provided "as is" without warranty or conditions of any kind, either expressed or implied.
